Sweet, soft and moreishly delicious, broad beans when cooked are smooth and creamy in consistency, and taste great in so many summer recipes. Throw them into salads to add colour and texture, or use as a welcome addition to creamy Italian risottos.

They begin their season in June and finish in September, so you've plenty of time to experiment. They're also fairly easy to grow yourself, if you have enough space for a vegetable patch in the garden.

It's best to keep broad beans in a holed bag in the fridge, that way they'll keep their freshness for around 5 days before you cook them.
