Organic Broad Beans
Nutritious and full of earthy flavour organic broad beans are members of the legume family. Sometimes called fava beans,
this popular food is grown and consumed throughout the world. As with all organic foods, organic broad beans are cultivated
and harvested without the aid of potentially harmful chemicals used in many pesticides and fertilisers. They are also free
from genetically modified organisms.
Broad beans are renowned for their nutritional value and are loaded with fibre providing many health benefits including
improved digestion and gut health, boosting the immune system, lowering cholesterol, decreasing high blood pressure,
boosting iron levels and aiding weight loss.
How to cook broad beans
The secret to cooking broad beans is to double pod them before cooking them. Double podding involves removing the
beans from their outer pod then boiling the beans for two minutes and then blanching them in cold water to stop the
cooking process. YOU should then be able to gently squeeze each bean so that the inner pod “pops” to reveal a bright
green inner bean. This inner bean can be added to salads, stir-frys or reheated.
How to freeze broad beans
Freezing board beans is a simple process of removing the outer pod, washing the beans, drying them and placing them
in an airtight container. The frozen bean should keep for twelve months.
