Fava Bean Chips cook just like Split Fava Beans, only a little faster as they're smaller pieces of bean. They cost less (cheap as chips?) than the larger Split Fava Beans but are just as tasty, versatile and easy to cook.
Use our Fava Bean Chips to make dal, falafel or hummus - or add a handful or more to soups, stews or curries. The beans get softer and softer the longer they're cooked.

Fava bean chips don't need soaking and cook down to a very soft consistency.
Cooking instructions
To cook simply cover the beans with water or stock, boil for 10 minutes then simmer, braise or roast for 10-15 minutes more. Pre-soaking speeds up cooking but isn't essential. The beans will get softer and softer as they cook.
Notes on Cooking Dried Pulses
Cooking times for dried pulses will be longer at higher altitudes and when cooking with hard water or older pulses.
Adding bicarbonate of soda during soaking and/or cooking will soften the pulses and reduce the cooking time.
Cooked pulses can be used immediately or frozen for later use.
