Broad Fava Beans (Ful) per kg

A true taste of Maltese spring, Broad Fava Beans (Ful) are a cherished seasonal delight. Sold fresh in their large, fleece-lined pods, the act of shelling them is part of the tradition. Inside, you’ll find tender, bright green beans with a distinctive earthy taste and a wonderfully creamy texture when cooked. For the most tender result, they can be double-podded to remove the outer skin. Fava beans are highly nutritious, providing an excellent source of plant-based protein, fibre, iron, and folate. They are the star ingredient in the traditional Maltese soup ‘Kusksu bil-Ful’, where their creamy texture and flavour define the dish. They are also delicious simply boiled until tender and dressed with good Maltese olive oil, fresh garlic, and mint, or mashed into a rustic dip. Buying by the kilogram is perfect for preparing a large family meal or for blanching and freezing to enjoy beyond their short season.
