A champion of the winter garden, 'Aquadulce' (often called 'Aquadulce Claudia') is one of the hardiest and most reliable broad bean varieties available.It is specifically prized for its ability to withstand frost, making it the go-to choice for autumn sowing and early spring harvests.The plant produces sturdy, upright stalks laden with long, green pods that zip open to reveal large, creamy-white seeds. These beans offer a rich, nutty flavour and a buttery texture that is far superior to store-bought alternatives. Beyond its harvest, 'Aquadulce' is a gardener’s friend, acting as a "green manure" by fixing nitrogen into the soil to benefit future crops.
