Broad Bean

We are engaged in distributing and supplying of broad bean in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Broad beans are rich in tyramine, and thus should be avoided by those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Broad beans are generally eaten while still young and tender, enabling harvesting to begin as early as the middle of spring for plants started under glass or overwintered in a protected location, but even the main crop sown in early spring will be ready from mid to late summer. Horse beans, left to mature fully, are usually harvested in the late autumn, and are then eaten as a pulse. The immature pods are also cooked and eaten, and the young leaves of the plant can also be eaten, either raw or cooked as a pot herb (like spinach). Broad beans were a major food of old Mediterranean civilizations, particularly for the Romans and Ancient Greeks.
