New Seasonal Products: Baby & Mature Broad Beans

Baby Broad BeansBaby Broad Beans are a seasonal product now available from Flowerdale Farm through the Glenora Heritage Produce range.

Picked young, Baby Broad Beans are about the size of your little finger and have a wonderfully sweet, nutty, pea-like flavour and smooth texture. Tender and young, there is no need for shelling, just treat them as you would a regular green or string bean.

Enjoy Baby Broad Beans lightly steamed or blanched and tossed through a crisp spring salad. They are also the perfect side dressed simply with a dash of extra-virgin olive oil and freshly cracked sea salt and black pepper.

Mature Broad Beans are also available, but even our mature variety is smaller and sweeter than common broad beans. As they are picked young there is no need to double peel our Mature Broad Beans, making them time saving in the kitchen.

Baby Broad Beans are available in 300g punnets and there will be stock of both the baby and mature varieties until Christmas. All Glenora products are picked to order so please ensure orders are received to Flowerdale Farm by 8am each Tuesday or Friday.
