Dried Borlotti Beans
Creamy, nutty, and beautifully speckled—borlotti beans (also known as cranberry beans) are an Italian favourite prized for their rich texture and ability to soak up flavour. High in fibre, plant-based protein, iron, and folate, they’re as nourishing as they are satisfying.
Once cooked, they turn a soft beige and develop a creamy bite, perfect for slow-cooked soups, minestrone, bean stews, and casseroles. They also shine in grain bowls, veggie patties, or simply tossed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a rustic side dish.
Soak overnight and cook gently to bring out their full richness. A pantry staple for comfort food with Mediterranean soul.
