Carbon Footprint (CO2e/kg):

1.55 kg

Tips:

• When buying, look for green pods that are firm and crisp without too many blemishes (some browning is fine).

• If you’re looking to eat them whole, select broad beans that are young and small (the size of your palm).

• If you purchase large pods then you will need to “double pod” them: remove the beans from the pod and remove the outer casing from the individual beans.
