Did you know that the broad bean is one of the oldest cultures in the world? In fact, the domestication of the \u201cmarsh bean\u201d better known as the \u201cbroad bean\u201d dates back 10,000 years. This legume enjoys great popularity in certain regions of Quebec such as Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Charlevoix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purchase<\/u><\/h3>\n

Fresh beans are available at the market in early summer. The pods of the beans should be very green, firm and unblemished. The kernels of dry beans should be hard, lightly wrinkled, and have a clean break. Be careful, very shiny beans may have been coated with glycerin to hide their lack of freshness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preserve<\/u><\/h3>\n

Keep your beans in the refrigerator for a few days in damp paper. Place them in the freezer once shelled, blanched, cooled with ice water and well wrung out. Dry beans can be stored for one year in an airtight container.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to fresh, dry or frozen, there are canned beans, as well as flour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare<\/u><\/h3>\n

Shell your beans only when cooking them. Before cooking the grains, remove the white film covering them. First blanch them for a few minutes in salted water and then soak them in ice water: the film should rise to the surface of the water. Then boil them for 10 to 20 minutes in plenty of salted water or steam them.<\/span><\/p>\n
