Key item features

  • Aquadulce Fava Bean (Vicia faba) is a highly productive and resilient variety of fava beans, known for its long, green pods filled with large, tender beans. This heirloom variety is well-suited for cool-season planting, making it a favorite for gardeners who want a nutritious and versatile crop early in the growing season. The beans are ideal for fresh eating, drying, or freezing, and they have a rich, buttery flavor when cooked. Aquadulce fava beans are also valued for their ability to improve soil health, as they fix nitrogen into the soil, making them an excellent addition to crop rotation systems.

    Key Features:

    • Plant Type: Annual
    • Sun Needs: Full sun to partial shade
    • Water Needs: Moderate, consistent watering
    • Planting Depth: 1 to 2 inches
    • Plant Spacing: 6 to 8 inches apart
    • Plant Height: 36 to 48 inches tall
    • Days to Maturity: 85-90 days
    • USDA Zones: 3-11 (cool-season crop)
  • Detailed Planting Instructions:
    Sow Aquadulce Fava Bean seeds directly into the garden in early spring or fall, as they prefer cooler temperatures. Plant the seeds 1 to 2 inches deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 6 to 8 inches apart in rows. These beans thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. As the plants grow, they may require staking to support their height and prevent lodging. Harvest the pods when they are full and green, typically around 85-90 days after planting, for the best flavor.
  • More Detailed Information:
    The Aquadulce Fava Bean variety is particularly cold-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for early spring or fall planting. These beans are highly nutritious, rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. In addition to their culinary uses, Aquadulce fava beans are beneficial to the garden as a nitrogen-fixing legume, improving soil fertility for future crops. The plant’s broad, upright habit makes it an attractive addition to garden beds, and its beans can be harvested for fresh consumption or dried for long-term storage.
