Growing and Use Features:

Growing "Extra Precoce a Grano Violetto" is a rewarding experience. Here's what you need to know:

• Spacing: Space plants about 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) apart in rows that are 60-75 cm (24-30 inches) apart.
• Support: Provide support for the plants as they grow taller to prevent them from falling over, especially when the pods are heavy. Bamboo canes or netting work well.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
• Harvesting: Harvest the pods when they are plump and the beans inside are well-formed but still tender. You can eat the entire pod when young, or shell the beans for cooking.

Culinary Uses: The sweet, nutty flavor of these purple broad beans makes them incredibly versatile. Enjoy them fresh in salads, steamed as a side dish, pureed into dips, or added to soups and stews. Their vibrant color also makes them a stunning garnish.
