What is this bean called?

Please identify these. The beans are very large as you can see in relation to the iphone.

Please use with caution! Some people may be allergic to broad beans, which can lead to serious symptoms - even death. People shouldn't consume them if they had never consumed any in the past. — FunnyJava, Commented Jul 6, 2018 at 12:49
While you're right that trying fava beans for the first time can be dangerous, the danger isn't an allergy, it's G6PDD, otherwise known as "favism". It affects about 1 out of 40 people, so relatively common, especially among folks of sub-saharan African descent. — FuzzyChef, Commented Jul 9, 2018 at 20:18
