This page gives instructions on how to buy heirloom fava bean seeds from David's Garden Seeds. Fava Beans are also known as Broad Beans. They are a wonderful source of protein and carbohydrates. They should be removed from their pod once picked, unless the pod is young and tender. Fava beans are one of the oldest plants under cultivation, having been grown in ancient Greece and Rome. Unlike other beans, they prefer cool weather, allowing them to be planted — and harvested — much earlier. Also known as broad beans, they are popular in Mediterranean cuisine, with many summer dishes celebrating the seasonal bean. They can also be dried for winter use. Fava beans have a distinct flavor and creamy texture that make them a fine ingredient for a wide variety of dishes.
Bean Fava Vroma 25 Non-GMO, Open Pollinated Seeds

Vroma Fava Beans are sturdy, upright plants with improved heat tolerance. Vroma produces large, 6 and 1/2 to 7 inch pods with 4 to 5 large seeds.

(This is not an heirloom seed. We only carry two types of fava beans so we put them all on this page.)
