‘Long Cascine’ Broad Bean

A traditional maincrop variety from Tuscany, with particularly long pods of 7-8 large seeds. The flavour is excellent, with not a hint of bitterness when raw so it’s very nice to eat fresh as a snack.

It grows about 1m tall, and is ready for harvest mid/late season, coming about a fortnight after Aquadulce types; the longer growing period gives higher yields.

A highly-prized, sweet and tender heirloom from Italy.
