Vicia faba
BEAN-AQUADULCE-BROAD-BUSH (LONG POD) is a heritage variety dating back to 1844, this is an early producer of nutty flavoured broad beans. Produces large amounts of medium green pods that are about 15cm long. Valuable winter & spring vegetable as it withstands heavy frosts. Used fresh or dried. Pick baby pods before beans are properly formed, slice & cook just like runner beans. An ideal variety for freezing. Pinching out tips after the first flowers appear encourages pods to set particularly in warmer areas. Grows to about 1m so is great for windy areas. Fixes nitrogen in the soil.

More About Us

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.

We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.

Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
