Vicia faba. This fava was very productive in a summer crop at our former Patagonia, AZ farm ... and also in our recent winter growout in Tucson! Pick when young for fresh shelling, or use as dry bean when seed is allowed to fully mature. Excellent for soups or hummus. Originally collected north of Espanola in Cuarteles, New Mexico. From our Seed Bank Collection.
Origin: High desert, but performs well in low desert winters
Light green seeds borne on 1.5 to 2.5 foot plants.
