Growing Hodmedod's

I haven't grown these particular varieties but do grow pulses, mainly french beans and broad beans (which are fava beans).

There are some interesting varieties there.

Depends what you mean by worth while. Dried pulses tend to be very cheap in the shops but you do pay a lot more for organic (as you show above) which is may be what you should compare with rather than what Asda or Tesco offer.

One thing with pulses, if you have a bumper crop, like I did this year (apart from the broad beans), they will store well for several years in air tight containers unlike a lot of crops we grow.

I use dried broad beans mainly for hummus but have to remove the skins for this. It would be interesting to see if that variety of fava beans needed the same. I've got some Hodmedod's carlin peas in the cupboard (grown in shropshire) bought a while ago, not by me. I'll have to try cooking some to see what they are like.

My Gran always celebrated 'Carlin Sunday' https://calendarcustoms.com/articles/carlin-sunday/
I remember her serving them up hot and from what I remember we added vinegar before eating. They are apparently called carlins because they resemble sheep carlins (poo)
