They were probably old. No, they were good, and the store is a regular beehive. Just pleasantly more chewy than the usual mushy navy bean -- more like a kidney bean in texture, but much larger. Fava beans are over an inch wide.

I never cooked large favas. How are they supposed to come out? Soft or chewy? I don’t like al dente beans. I like soft because you digest them better and get no gas
