Broad Beans, 1kg

Fresh Broad Beans 1kg are 1kg of fresh broad beans in the pod — one of the first real pleasures of the British spring season. Fresh broad beans are a world apart from the frozen or canned version. In particular, young, freshly picked beans have a sweet, grassy freshness that disappears quickly after harvest. As a result, they are best cooked on the day of delivery. Furthermore, double-podding — removing the grey outer skin to reveal the bright green bean — transforms them.

About Fresh Broad Beans 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Fresh Broad Beans 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Broad Beans 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Fresh Broad Beans 1kg

To get the very best from Fresh Broad Beans 1kg:

• Pod the beans, then simmer in well-salted water for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.
• For double-podded beans: plunge into ice water after cooking and peel away the grey skin to reveal the vivid green bean.
• Furthermore, fresh broad beans are outstanding served simply warm with good olive oil, lemon and pecorino.
• Additionally, they work very well in a spring risotto, pasta with mint and ricotta, or as a bruschetta topping.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Broad Beans 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good olive oil, lemon, sea salt and fresh mint or basil
• Pecorino Romano, aged Parmesan or creamy ricotta alongside
• A chilled Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc or a glass of English white wine
• Smoked bacon lardons, prosciutto or pancetta as a savoury complement

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Fresh Broad Beans 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
