My aquadulce tasted better than the grano violetto.
I'm such a huge convert to green favas, even though they're a little work.
The pods are great, too. I boiled them in salt water, then grilled them and tossed them in a garlic vinaigrette. Great on toast, chopped up in a pasta salad. It really seemed like a shame to get such a small edible portion from all those favas, so I was thrilled to find recipes for the pods.
Next year, I'm trying Broad Windsor.
