Roasted and salted broad beans 750 g

Legumes are celebrating the comeback of a century, and broad beans are a big part of that. While they are a staple in Africa, Asia, and South America, they are still quite unknown in Europe. But we are bringing them back into your kitchen and that's not without reason!

Even though broad beans contain a lot of important nutrients – they are, for example, very high in protein and low in calories; if that's not good news! – they have always been considered "poor-peoples food" because of the facility with which they were cultivated and harvested, and therefore cheaply available on the market. Well, we think that these are actually amazing qualities, and we are not the only ones who now see broad beans with newly awakened admiration. Star chefs are now often replacing traditional beans with these white, light greenish siblings. 

Like most beans, they are not suitable for raw consumption, and must be freed of their outer shell and then soaked for a few hours, before you can finally cook them. This does not make them the ideal legume for a spontaneous dish, right? Unless you get our take on them; our salted and roasted beans can be a topping for your salat or next homemade Asian-inspired dish. They are also a delicious and filling snack, of course; it's really up to you and your creativity.
