CRANBERRY BEANS

Cranberry beans, also known as borlotti beans, are a beautiful variety of legume, recognizable by their creamy white pods streaked with red or pink speckles. Popular in Italian, Portuguese, and Latin American cuisine, these beans have a mild, nutty flavor and a creamy texture when cooked, making them ideal for soups, stews, salads, and pasta dishes.

Nutritionally, cranberry beans are an excellent plant-based protein source, rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. They also provide essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, along with B vitamins such as folate. Their combination of flavor, versatility, and nutritional benefits makes cranberry beans a valuable addition to balanced diets.
