Broad Bean Bunyards Exhibition
Packed with nutrients, beans are an excellent source of protein, fiber, vitamins A,C&E, and minerals.  They can be enjoyed at different stages of growth. When young and tender, the entire pod can be cooked and eaten, similar to snap peas. As the beans mature, the pods become tougher and less palatable, but the individual beans inside can be shelled and cooked separately.

    Please note that the majority of our seeds are packed by volume so the number of seeds indicated is an approximation.

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK sources.
