Mediterranean region. It presumably had its peak in Europe in the Middle Ages. Until the 16th century, it had been an enormously important staple food but was then superseded by the tropical garden beans imported from the New World.
Like its innumerable names, including broad bean, fava bean, or field bean, it has, henceforth, mainly been cultivated as greenstuff. However, it's a good vegetable with a sweet taste. On top, it doesn't need any climbing aid but simply grows into the height like a bush bean. Another advantage is that it's, contrary to most garden beans, very cold-tolerant and can already be sown from the end of February.
Vicia faba seeds, content: Approx. 50 Horse Bean seeds

Sowing & cultivation
Sow horse beans directly outdoors as early as possible, already from the end of February. Break out the stem tips for good growth. Horse beans taste best when harvested young. Seeds of legumes often germinate a lot better when they are allowed to pre-soak in water for several hours.
