Organic Cannellini Beans – 400 g, Alce Nero, 400 g

Cannellini beans are a variety of white beans popular in Central and Southern Italy, particularly in Tuscany. Other names for the bean include white kidney bean and fazolia bean. They are similar to white navy beans or haricots, as they are known in Britain.
Before cooking, cannellini beans must be thoroughly rinsed. When cooked, the cannellini bean is fluffy and creamy. They are typically known for their smooth texture and nutty flavor.
In Tuscany, the beans are often eaten dried instead of cooked. In other parts of Italy, the beans are a popular accompaniment to tuna and pasta dishes containing poultry. In the United States, vegetarians often utilize the hearty beans as a fish or chicken substitute.

Directions for use:

Use for the preparation of cold salads, soups and main dishes. Soak 1 cup cannellini beans for 12 hours. Before cooking, rinse the beans well and allow them to drain completely. Pour the drained beans into a cooking pot or saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and leave to simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, or until soft.
