Pigeon Beans 'Tundra' 100g

This relative of the broad bean is 3 times smaller than its big brother, but with a lot of flavor. That pleasant bitterness, which true broad bean lovers adore, caused by tannin, this small bean contains and makes it a true flavor bomb!
Due to their very good frost resistance, you can actually sow these beans throughout the winter, unless we have the "misfortune" of severe frost...
Besides for consumption, field beans are widely cultivated as green manure because they can fix nitrogen in the soil.
Farmers use the dried and then ground beans as a very protein-rich feed for cows. Around 1990, the cultivation of field beans as a protein-rich crop almost completely disappeared. However, there is renewed interest in this crop in the context of greening and as a cultivation of local animal feed, replacing soybeans.
Field beans were first cultivated in Central Asia: Iraq and Iran, presumably in the Bronze Age. The beans have been cultivated in North-West Europe for a few thousand years. Broad beans with large seeds only emerged in the Middle Ages.
