Broad Bean Exhibition Long Pod reliably produces a heavy crop of long, well-filled pods in a wide range of conditions. Delicate, buttery, nutty tasting broad beans make an amazing hearty addition to hot dishes – delicious sauted, steamed or roasted. Young pods can be sliced, steamed and eaten as a green vegetable. A great match with bacon, or fresh mint. Great companion plant for cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, potatoes & spinach. Avoid overwatering – seeds may rot before germination if soil is too wet. Germination 10 – 14 days | Maturity 18 – 25 weeks
