Very versatile beans, well worth trying!
These split fava beans have a bizarre set of reviews, with some reviewers not entirely sure what it is they've bought. Fava beans are more commonly known in the UK as broad beans. In this case, the outer shell has been stripped away, leaving the inner part of the seed which splits in halves. They are dried during this process (probably before they are dehulled). This makes them appear nothing like the whole fresh bean. They also have a much more subtle taste to the fresh broad bean, to me they're nothing like fresh broad beans. The flavour is mild.In India, split fava beans or vaal dal are used in a lot of different recipes. But we're not as familiar with this form of the humble broad bean here in the UK.They're very versatile split beans which can be added in to stews and soups or used to stuff vegetables, or make patties with the addition of other vegetables, herbs and spices. The beans cook quickly so care needs to be taken not to overcook - they will turn to mush! I do also soak these before I cook them, but that's to super-speed things up on cooking.The most amazing thing about these split fava beans has, for me, been their ability to make good tempeh. The culture seems to love these beans. That makes sense to any tempeh maker, because these beans have no skins on them! They've also made very good hummus and I've added them into some falafel type patties I made - they were delicious.

Love fava beans!
Amazing nutty rich taste, I cooked at the same time chickpeas and chickpeas were tasteless in comparison with fava beans.If you overcook, they turn into soup. No blending, how convenient! That’s not the case with chickpeas (must go into blender if you want a soup). I will definitely buy again, why supermarkets can’t sell them? Don’t forget spice!

Good beans
Bit small but they are skined so I can eat them as I have UC and can't eat skins on beans

Hodmedod's organic fava beans
These split. beans are excellent for adding nourishment to many dishes and especially invaluable when making a vegetable soup. No need to presoak + helps to thicken and give more substance with good flavour.

Very very tiny beans, vendor refused to refund
The beans were absolutely tiny and not really suitable for anything other than soup. The vendor refused to refund when requested. Beans do not look this small on the photo
