Fava Bean Umami Paste

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

Sorry, not available right now £3.49

A purée of fermented beans full of rich umami flavour.

Similar to a Japanese miso but made with British-grown fava beans, our fermented Fava Bean Umami Paste is packed with deep rich umami flavour with subtle notes of sherry.

Awarded two stars in the 2019 and 2018 Great Taste Awards, here are a few of the judges' comments:

• "We love the umami depth of flavour, its complexity and persistence."
• "Deep, satisfying umami flavours that burst with fizzy fermentation, complex soy like flavour with a natural sweetness that is really harmonious and delicious."
• "A fabulously aromatic miso paste, how brilliant that this is made from British-grown fava beans."
• "Brilliant in a variety of dishes and genuinely versatile."
• "A brilliant fridge staple."

Split Fava Beans, Organic

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£2.09

Split Fava Beans are tasty, versatile and easy to cook - they don’t even need soaking.

Use our Organic Split Fava Beans to make dal, falafel or hummus - or add a handful or more to soups, stews or curries. The beans get softer and softer the longer they're cooked.

Or try our new Fava Bean Chips - they're cheaper than Split Fava Beans and cook just the same only a little faster.

Black Badger Carlin Peas, Organic

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

Our Black Badgers are a classic brown Carlin Pea, also know as Black or Grey Peas and popularly served as Parched Peas in Lancashire, simply boiled up and eaten with vinegar and salt.

With their firm texture and delicious nutty flavour, Carlin Peas make an excellent British substitute for chickpeas.
