Description

Our fava bean seeds undergo manual screening to pick plump, intact and high‑activity seeds. Fava bean, also known as broad bean, is a cool‑season upright legume crop without winding vines. It bears thick flat green pods filled with big, tender beans rich in plant protein, trace minerals and dietary fibre.

This hardy vegetable adapts to balcony containers, small home vegetable plots and large farmland. It tolerates chilly weather well and can enhance soil fertility via root nitrogen‑fixing nodules, ideal for home growers and commercial growers.

Low‑impurity clean‑grade seeds for family‑pot gardening and farm‑field cultivation

Full Product Description

Fava bean is an annual non‑climbing legume. It grows thick straight stalks and lush compound green leaves. Flat green pods hang from plant branches, each pod holding several big beans.

Every batch of seeds is carefully inspected. Shrivelled, broken, discoloured and mouldy grains are removed. Healthy seeds sprout into vigorous plants and produce well‑formed pods. As a classic cool‑weather crop, it avoids thriving under high‑temperature summer environments and works great in crop rotation plans for vegetable gardens.

Packaging & Shipping Notes

Hard fava bean seeds are sealed inside thick moisture‑proof bags. Outer carton packaging prevents seed breakage and grain loss in transit.

Keep seed packs away from high‑temperature storage, humid air and long‑time direct sunlight. Tighten the seal for leftover seeds and store in cool, dry and well‑ventilated locations.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow in late autumn or early spring. Proper growing temperature ranges 5℃‑20℃. Intense summer heat stops normal growth and pod formation.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 8‑12 hours
Discard floating inactive seeds
Pre‑sprout seeds with damp cloth if you hope to shorten the germination cycle

Soil Requirement

Clear weeds and stones, deeply turn over planting soil. Loose, fertile, well‑drained neutral sandy‑loam is the optimal growing medium. Water‑logged soil will easily trigger root rot.

Sowing Operation

Bury seeds 1.5‑2 inches deep, leave enough spacing between each plant, and lightly compress the top‑layer soil.

Germination & Seedling Care

Keep soil slightly moist. Healthy seeds germinate within 7‑12 days in cool moist soil. Thin crowded seedlings and carry out regular weeding work.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Full‑sun conditions encourage thick sturdy stems and plentiful pods. Maintain steady soil moisture and add phosphorus‑potassium fertilizer during blooming and pod swelling stages. Harvest pods when inner beans become plump and still maintain soft tender texture.

Seed Storage & Package

Moisture‑proof sealed packaging protects seeds from dampness, mould and transport‑caused damage.

Store unused seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and ventilated spaces. Refrigerated storage prolongs seed vitality. Keep seeds away from hot‑humid surroundings. Complete sowing within three‑month storage to achieve top‑level germination effects.
