The great feature of Eleonora Organic broad beans is that the plants stay relatively short, so they are not prone to falling over. This makes them the top choice for windy or exposed areas. The attractive bluish-green foliage tops upright, hardy plants that only grow to 80cm (32") tall. The pods are high quality and very straight, with 5-6 seeds per pod. These are excellent for fresh eating with sweet, rich flavour. The seeds are ideal for freezing as they maintain their colour and flavour for months.
