Very early, hardy, productive, and disease resistant. Each pod will contain 3 to 4 bean seeds, which are great for canning or freezing. Considered a hardy lima bean that can grows best during the heat of the summer. Desirable and dependable in adverse conditions. Bush habit, 60-75 days. Fava Bean &#8216;Vicia faba&#8217;.This classic variety produces 5- to 6-inch long pods with 3 to 5 beans inside. Bean pods are picked green once the 1-inch diameter beans have sized up inside the pod, but before they mature. They also can be used as a dried bean once mature. The beans are great in soups, stews, casseroles and roasted. Favas are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins A and C and help produce a chemical called dopamine in the body which has been used to treat Parkinson&#8217;s disease and help with low libido.Fava beans are easy to grow in cool climates. In northern areas they&#8217;re spring seeded for a late summer harvest. In mild winter areas like England, the Gulf and West coasts, sow fava beans in late summer or early fall for a winter and early spring harvest. This cool weather loving legume produces a beautiful 2- to 4-foot tall plant (taller under very fertile soil conditions) that can withstand temperatures down to 20 degrees F. Although more closely related to vetch than the common bean, favas have a taproot and fix nitrogen, making them an excellent cover crop, especially on clay soils (see article on improving clay soils in this issue).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"itempress_category":[13700],"itempress_tag":[568,875,950,13699,16,13698,10],"class_list":["post-18268","itempress_product","type-itempress_product","status-publish","hentry","itempress_category-cat-262042","itempress_tag-568","itempress_tag-garden","itempress_tag-lima-bean","itempress_tag-minneapolis","itempress_tag-returnsnotaccepted","itempress_tag-single-unit","itempress_tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_product\/18268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/itempress_product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"itempress_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_category?post=18268"},{"taxonomy":"itempress_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_tag?post=18268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
