broadbean
Large flat legume
A broadbean is a large, flat legume grown for its edible seeds, which develop inside thick, fuzzy pods.
Also called fava bean, it's a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines: broadbeans with olive oil and lemon, a salad of broadbeans and pecorino.
The beans are typically shelled and sometimes skinned before cooking.
