Baby Fava Beans

I'm growing fava beans this year - all beans give nitrogen to the soil, so they're a good crop to grow to enhance the soil - plus, I really love favas.

Because I'm growing my own, I can pick them small. I picked some the size of my little finger today, and steamed them, and ate them whole. They had the texture of green beans and the flavor of fava beans. Amazing.
