In the northern regions of the United States where the summers are cool and short, Windsor Long Pod is the strain of Windsor bean recommended. For the heirloom enthusiast, the Windsor Broad Bean (synonymous with White Windsor) is the bean of the old American gentry. For this is a white-seeded fava bean with huge, erect pods. True Windsors produce only 2 beans per pod, Windsor Long Pod produces 4 to 6 beans, not quite so rare and wasteful. There are several hundred popular names for various types and strains of Windsor bean, but in the rest, they are all the same bean. The true Windsor is noted to have a flavor very close to a butternut that was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson who grew it.
