I wouldn't mind doing all that work if I ended up with more than a cup of beans for, like, over an hour's work and a bag's worth of garbage. The canned ones don't taste any different from the fresh ones I cook, but Frances Mayes waxes eloquent about them fresh, so I keep feeling like I must be missing something. Cranberry beans are popular in Italy, too, both fresh and dried. Matthew, have you tried Anasazi beans?</p> Favas are one of those few things I’d like to do without, but am stuck with because the CSA sends them.

My mom grows them in her garden and the fresh kind is the BEST. I purchased some dried ones online, but haven't tried them yet.</p> I’ve been a big fan of cranberry beans for a while.

Oh, and last week at the market there was another kind of shelling beans called panda beans, so called because the beans themselves are black and white. I'm guessing they'll cook up indistinguishable from cranberry beans, but I'll try them on Sunday.</p> I’m not sure, but dried favas are good.

How are they in the can? Sounds like one of those vegetables that the canning process might not kill.</p> Never got must into Favas. How are they in the can?
