Broad beans are highly nutritious.They are rich in dietary fiber and iron.though they are available throughout the year,winter is the best season to get fresh and seedy broad beans.i cook them weekly twice during winter.broad beans fry and broad beans tomato curry are commonly cooked here.they can also be used in cooking chicken and mutton curries. i like chicken curry with broad beans and tomato.
you need open each bean to check whether they are any worms.before that you need pull the strings off on both sides of the beans.
