The earliest French settlers brought broad beans with them to Quebec. They are still popular in the Northern regions like Lac St. Jean and Charlevoix where it is too cool to grow common beans easily. They are traditionally used to make fresh broad bean soup. The small to medium seeds are in pods containing 1-4 seeds. Find an interesting Seeds of Diversity Quebec fava article and recipe for traditional soup here!
