1, Chongli broad beans: Chongli broad beans 100 grains weighing about 106 grams, is a medium grain type. Grain shape for the square type, thin skin, bright color, fullness of good, nearly milky white beans. The umbilicus is short and dark brown. After the seeds are cooked, the taste is sweet and flavorful, and the palatability is good.

2, Lin Silkworm No. 5: fertility period of about 125 days, branching is generally 2 ~ 3, 100 grains weighing about 180g, seed coat milky white. It is characterized by high yield, high quality, large grain size, strong resistance to adversity, adapted to high fertilizer cultivation, well-developed root system, resistance to collapse, with a general yield of about 350kg per mu.

3, Lin Silkworm 204: spring sowing varieties of broad beans, fertility of about 120 days, branching 2 to 3, low pod parts, 100 grains weighing about 160g. With high yield, high quality, large grain characteristics. Wide adaptability, strong resistance. The general yield is about 350kg per mu, and the highest yield is 420kg per mu. It is a high-quality variety for export.

4, Linxia horse teeth: the variety of seed coat milky white, 100 grain weight 170g, grain protein content of 25.6%. Strong adaptability, high yield and stable yield. Average yield 350kg/mu, up to 500kg/mu. Suitable for planting on land with high fertility. Is China's important broad bean export commodities.

5, Linxia large fava beans: spring sowing type. The variety of seed skin creamy white, 100 grain weight of about 160g, seed protein content of 27.9%, the average yield of 250-300kg / mu. Like water and fertilizer, good yield, strong adaptability, at an altitude of 1700 ~ 2600m in the Chuanshui area and shady areas can be planted in 1981 began to promote a large area in Gansu Province. Suitable for planting in the main producing areas of northern broad beans.

6, Qinghai 3: spring sowing varieties of broad beans, with high-yield, high-quality, large grain characteristics, strong branching, low pod parts, not easy to crack pods. Seed skin milky white, 100 grain weight of about 160g, seed protein content of 24.3%, 1.2% fat. The root system is well developed and resistant to falling, it likes water and fertilizer, and it is suitable for planting in areas with warmer climate and good irrigation conditions. The highest mu yield reaches 400~450kg. it is the current spring broad bean area promotion varieties.

7, Qinghai 9: spring sowing varieties of broad beans, with high yield, high quality, extra-large grain characteristics, strong branching, low pod parts, not easy to crack pods. The seed coat is milky white, and the weight of 100 grains is about 200g. The root system is developed, the plant is tall, the stalks are hard, resistant to collapse, water-loving and fertilizer-resistant, suitable for planting in areas with warmer climate and good irrigation conditions. The highest mu yield of 440 ~ 480kg. spring bean area promotion varieties.

Food processing is the main form of processing of fava beans,

1, the traditional method is to remove tannins, phytohemagglutinin, trypsin inhibitory factor, β-glycosides and other anti-nutritional components and seed coat and other inedible parts, to improve the quality of fava beans to eat, to improve the convenience of the expansion of production scale.

2, industrial technology can be made into flavored foods, such as adding fennel, salt, monosodium glutamate, anise and other different combinations of seasoning cooking, adding a safe and stable protective liquid, can be made into a variety of brine broad beans.

3, broad beans by puffing and adding salt and so on to make crispy and tasty leisure puffed food.

4, broad beans by soaking, grinding, precipitation and other processes can be separated from broad bean starch, separation of starch scraps can also be utilized, such as slurry water can be extracted calcium and magnesium phytate, a variety of proteins, proteins can be extracted through the hydrolysis of acid amino acids, slurry water can be used for large-scale cultivation of beneficial algae and micro-organisms.

5, soybean residue can be used for soy sauce, white wine brewing.
