Picked First Batch of Fava Beans Today

Products of one of the heirloom varieties ... Italian or Spanish ... I'm not sure which. Both are early producers, but one is supposed to make white beans (Aquadulce fava), the other purple beans (Extra Precoce A Grano Violetto fava). The beans I shelled out were light green, seemed to be perfectly mature ... but maybe not. The plants in that bed are beginning to wilt. The Windsor favas are growing well. Chianti, anyone?
