Description
Cannellini Beans are white kidney beans, also known as “Italian white kidney beans” or “fasolia beans.” They are medium sized about 1/2 inch longe and kidney shaped, with a tough seed coat. This specific variety is very popular in Italian cuisine, appearing dishes such as minestrone, pasta e fagioli soup and the common stewed bean side dish with garlic and rosemary.
Rich in magnesium, fibre, iron and folate. A silky texture and mild creamy flavour. One of the most versatile of the pulses, cannellini beans keep their shape during slow cooking, add creaminess to risotto, and make a lovely addition to bean salads.
Cannellini Beans are members of the larger family of legumes, plants used for their edible seeds and pods that boast a high nutrient density with low-maintenance production and storage. They contain high levels of protein, essential minerals and fibre while maintaining a low level of fats.
