Growing Method

BelOrta broad beans are grown in open fields. That means the beans grow naturally, out in the open air. They get the full benefit of sunlight and rainwater, which leads to firm and flavourful beans. This traditional method of field cultivation allows the beans to grow and develop naturally, preserving their authentic character.
