How to harvest broad beans

How to harvest broad beans

Picking pods while the beans are young and tender, every few days so the plants keep cropping.

  1. Pick pods when the beans show as bumps, before the pods go leathery.

  2. Hold the stem with one hand and pull the pod down with the other.

  3. Pick every few days: the more you pick, the more you get.
