Broad beans, also known as Romano beans or Italian green beans, are a type of legume characterized by their broad and flattened shape. They are longer and wider than regular green beans. Flat beans have a crisp and tender texture and a slightly sweeter flavor compared to their round counterparts. They are commonly used in cooking, especially in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. Flat beans can be steamed, stir-fried, sautéed, or added to stews and casseroles. They are versatile and make a delicious addition to various dishes, providing a fresh and crunchy element.
