So, much faster than on a stovetop, and you don't have to worry about burning.This was my first time preparing dried fava beans, though I am very fond of the Japanese equivalent, slightly bigger beans known as "sora-mame," boiled fresh; I even like to eat their slightly tough skins when I cook them that way. Once the dried fava beans had been pressure-cooked, they were extremely simple and quick to mash just using a hand-held stick blender. But a word about removing the skins: I boiled the dried beans for 10 minutes, as as someone advised online, but I made the mistake of letting them sit in a drainer too long before trying to shell them. The skins stuck on some of the beans in places, and I suspect that if I had attacked the chore as soon as the beans would no longer burn my fingers, it would have gone much faster and more pleasantly. I'd probably watch TV while doing that job next time.I froze half of the cooked and mashed beans and the remainder tasted very good flavored with nutritional yeast, onion and garlic granules, smoked paprika and salt, and eaten at one meal with some sour cream on top, and at another meal with more liquid added so they became a soup. I haven't tried them in one of my cookbook recipes yet. There are dried fava beans for sale that have had their skins removed, but for this, my first time buying them, I chose ones with skins, thinking that you never know what means were used to get rid of the skins. I don't know about fava beans, but have recollections of reading that chemicals are sometimes used in large operations to remove the skins of certain foods and IF that is the case with fava bean skins, then I would stick to these, in spite of their being time-consuming to prepare. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars First time was NOT a charm.... *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016* I rated these only three not necessarily having anything to do with Hunza quality but rather due to the properties these dried Fava beans have. FIRST, these have a "skin" on each bean that has to be peeled off. I soaked them overnight then individually peeled off each seed coat which was very time consuming. Also, theoretically I will not end up with the equivalent of two pounds of beans because I had to throw some of the weight away with the seed coat. SECOND, these did not hold their shape when cooked, almost completely falling apart. Because of that I had to change the intended recipe where I needed intact beans to an Isreali soup recipe where the beans are puréed. The soup was great, but not worth the time needed to peel them--I would have preferred using red lentils! I have attached a photo of the leftover soup that is about the same consistency as pea soup. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great Flavor- Time Consuming to Hull *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015* Apparently I am a new to Fava beans, because I had no idea I needed to take the shells off. I lead a busy life, and trying to eat healthy and cook from scratch is time consuming enough without having to add to it. That being said, I like everything else about these beans. They are delicious, and organic (which for me is very important). They have the USDA seal on them, which is important because that means it has really been inspected and has been clearly registered as meeting the criteria. You aren't just taking the company's word for it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21557956-hunza-organic-fava-beans-5-lbs](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21557956-hunza-organic-fava-beans-5-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
