Broad Beans Super Aquadulce

£1.95 Average 35 seeds

There's something magical about popping open a long velvety pod of broad bean. Big or small, homegrown broad beans taste sweet, tender and delicious so if you've only ever had shop bought you're in for a treat. They're fantastic cooked, and wonderful raw - I love antipasti of raw beans with slivers of pecorino cheese.

What's more they're dead easy to grow. This variety thrives in our cool climate, and will give you dozens of long pods per plant. They do take up a bit of space though, so they're not ideal for patio growing.

Growing Equipment: Rootrainers for sowing.
