Dry split fava beans, or split broad beans, are a type of legume harvested when mature, dried, and then split in half to remove the hard outer shell. This process makes them quicker to cook and easier to digest. They have a nutty, earthy flavour and can be used in various dishes such as soups, stews, and our favourite, fried and salted! They are also a good source of protein, fibre, and other essential nutrients.
