Cranberry Beans are known for their creamy texture with a flavor similar to chestnuts. Cranberry beans are rounded with red specks, which disappear on cooking. These beans are a favorite in northern Italy and Spain and are often used in pasta and soup dishes such as Pasta e Fagioli.
According to the USDA, the American ‘cranberry bean’ is the same bean as the Italian ‘borlotti’ and, as a matter of fact, a large percentage of the ‘borlotti’ beans sold in Italy are actually ‘cranberry beans’ imported from the U.S.
Soaking these dried Cranberry Beans for a couple of hours brings them back to life, activating enzymes, proteins. minerals and vitamins. Since they only contain 2-3% fat and are high in protein and carbohydrates, they are the perfect food for fat-restricted diets and also work to lower cholesterol.
Each bag contains 12 ounces (341 grams) of dried Cranberry Beans by D’Allasandro.
