Broaden your horizons
Broad beans instantly bring to mind nostalgic memories of sunny, summer dinners when visiting grandparents, but also the fun involved in popping the pods and beans to unleash small, vividly green beans within. They’re a vegetable that has dropped off my radar more in recent years, but whenever I eat them, I recall how satisfying they are and I’m keen to get cooking with them again this summer.
Like most fresh green food their nutritional benefits speak for themselves, whether you’re looking for added protein, or vitamins A, B1 or B2, these often forgotten legumes make for a worthy addition to any summer meal.
