WIZARD BEANS
Vicia faba / Faba beans / Horse beans / Foul medames


The recent introduction of the winter sown variety WIZARD has enabled new markets to be supplied from UK sourced material. A major new development has been the use of WIZARD in the export whole bean market. Its large grain size and pale skin has increased its popularity with end users – to such an extent that they are now asking for WIZARD by name.

This type of bean forms an important part of the diet in many countries either canned or purchased by the end consumer dry and then pre soaked before cooking.

Crops are sown in the Autumn and harvested the following Aug/Sept. The advantages for UK growers is that WIZARD offers adaptability to a wide range of soil types and can be sown anytime between October and December.

Crops are grown under strict guidelines in an effort to achieve the highest quality possible. Growers are required to pay particular attention to keeping bruchid beetle damage and stain to a minimum whilst also ensuring that the produce is handled carefully at harvest time to avoid cracked seed coats.
We then collect the grain from farms and our processing equipment removes foreign material or undesirable beans with the use of the latest cleaning and colour sorting machinery.

WIZARD beans are normally despatched in 25kg polyprop bags packed into 20 foot containers and are available all the year round with particular emphasis on new harvest production in September /October/November of each year
