Hailing from Italy, 'Grano Violetto' is a unique heritage variety with excellent flavor. Sweet and mild, ‘Grano Violetto’ broad beans lack that strong taste that larger broads can take on. Nutritionally, all broad beans are an excellent source of folic acid, a good source of potassium and magnesium and they’re also high in fiber. Besides, eating iron-rich broad beans may help with symptoms of anemia.
