Similar to peas the pods round out,here’s a photo from years ago,with the long broad beans next to the small peas to show size,try the biggest roundest pods,the longer you leave them the bigger the bean gets,if picked too early they’ll just be smaller,I like the smaller/medium size compared to the full sized bean

I always have trouble holding myself back from picking broadies when I know it's too early. Every year I get the urge to 'just try a pod or two' when they look like the ones in your pic CG but the beans inside are always too small (although fabulous flavour). I'm adamant that this year I will wait just a bit longer for them to look like little hourglasses side-on & get decent sized beans from the start.Location: SE Wales about 1250ft up

They might be little but I'm sure they'll be tasty If you can restrain yourself for a week or so longer for your next pick there won't be extra beans but you'll be surprised how much bigger they can grow in a short time. xLocation: SE Wales about 1250ft up
