broad beans
Large flat legumes
Broad beans are large, flat beans that grow in thick pods, eaten as a vegetable.
Also called fava beans, they have a slightly bitter, earthy flavor and tough outer skins that are often removed before eating.
The plants are among the oldest cultivated crops: We shelled broad beans on the porch.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say fava beans.
