BOB'S RED MILL: Cannellini Heritage Beans, 24 oz

Cannellini beans are wonderfully nutritious. They're fat free and high in protein, fiber, and iron. This bean is a traditional white Italian bean, sometimes known as white kidney bean. It is a haricot bean that was originally cultivated in Argentina, but eventually became a staple of Italian cuisine. This delicious variety has a firm yet creamy texture with a mellow, nutty flavor.
These gourmet beans are popular in a number of Italian dishes—minestrones, pasta e fagioli and bean salads, to name a few. Cannellini beans can be used interchangeably with other white beans and they're excellent in many dishes, especially soups, stews, chilis and puréed bean spreads or dips. Because they hold their shape better than other white beans, they are a favorite for ragouts and bean salads. See the back of our package for recipes for a hearty Cannellini Bean Soup and a luscious Cannellini Herb Spread.
