Fava Beans:
Preparation & Handling

 
How to Store
To store Fava Bean pods, place them in a plastic bag in the crisper section of the refrigerator right away. The pods will keep for five to seven days in the refrigerator.

Store cooked and peeled Fava Beans in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to five days at most.

How to Prepare
There are three steps to preparing a Fava Bean:
  1. Removing the beans from the pod.
  2. Blanching the beans to soften for easy removal of the outer shell.
  3. Peeling off the outer shell before eating or cooking to end with a bright-green, soft-scrumptious bean!

How to Cook
Cook beans in a large saucepan in plenty of boiling water until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the bean. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool. Peel outer shell of bean before eating.
