Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hi Mel, A fava bean is not the same as a lima but the taste is similar. You have to peel a fava bean twice. I get them fresh at the Middle Eastern store and steam them. Donna melissa_hopp <hoppmel wrote: Some time ago I had baby lima beans, I think - and they were really yummy. Now though, I'm sort of confused. Are Lima and Fava beans the same? I also haven't been able to find much in the way of recipes for them. I'll make em from scratch (don't have a crockpot - on my list of things I must get, soon) - but to save time, I'd rather use canned or frozen. Anyone have ideas...thoughts... m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have never tasted a fava bean. Every time I hear the name fava bean I think of Hannibal Hector.
