    Gigante beans are a variety of broad or fava beans. I have grown them from dried beans I bought in Greece - but to be honest not really worth the trouble ans the dark seeded broad bean, dried are just as good. - I do still have some of the beans in the cupboard and if you PM me your address I will send you a few to try, but I don't know if they are still viable. An alternative might be to try an Asian or Continental food shop.
