It is used in a variety of ways, including boiling with salt, grilling pod and all, in salads, in stir fry cooking, in stews, etc. Season: May-June. Because fava beans are harvested before they fully mature, their sweetness and umami flavors can decrease rapidly. They should be stored in the pod at a low temperature (1℃) and eaten at an early date for best taste.
