Hodmedod's Organic Split Fava Beans

A taste of British history—creamy, quick-cooking, and deeply satisfying.

Hodmedod's Organic Split Fava Beans are a fantastic, sustainable alternative to more common lentils or split peas. Known in the UK for centuries as "fief beans," these fava beans (also known as broad beans) have been split to remove the outer husk, which significantly reduces cooking time and creates a wonderful, creamy consistency that is perfect for purees, soups, and hearty dals.

Hodmedod's is a pioneering British company dedicated to sourcing and promoting sustainable, British-grown pulses and grains. By choosing these beans, you are not only enjoying a highly nutritious, iron-rich food but also supporting local agriculture and reducing food miles.

Why you’ll love them:

• Quick & Convenient: Being split, they cook much faster than whole beans—typically ready in about 20–30 minutes—making them ideal for busy weeknight meals.

• Velvety Texture: They break down beautifully when simmered, creating a thick, luxurious texture that is perfect for dips like "fava bean hummus," soups, or as a base for stews.

• Nutrient-Dense: Packed with plant-based protein, iron, and fiber, they are a fantastic, satiating addition to any diet.

• British-Grown & Sustainable: Hodmedod’s focuses on crops that thrive in the UK climate, supporting soil health and local biodiversity.

• Versatile Flavor: They have a mild, nutty, and earthy flavor that acts as a great foundation for aromatic herbs, spices, and garlic.
