Fava Beans are in season only for some time in the summer and they are never as good as then when you compare it to winter editions – as frozen or canned. I love to pick a small bowl as a healthy snack or even to substitute for popcorn with TV.

It is best to get the beans when they are fresh, young and green – in USA and Europe that will be July / August. Look for the ones that have a light green and even color – not dark spots or wholes.
