    Ingredients

    Organic cannellini beans.

    Organic cannellini beans are white kidney beans, also known as "Italian white kidney beans". They are medium sized — about 1/2 inch long-and kidney shaped. Cannellini beans hold their shape well when cooked thanks to their tough seed coat and boast a creamy interior with a mild, pleasantly nutty flavor. Cannellini beans are popular in Italian cuisine, appearing in dishes such as minestrone, pasta e fagioli soup and a common stewed bean side dish with garlic and rosemary.

    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 fiber while maintaining a low level of fats.

    Classic recipe

    Ribollita

    The famous soup of Tuscany ribollita means “re-boiled”. Among the essential ingredients are leftover vegetables, bread and of course cannellini beans. Cooking the beans a day ahead will create a richer bean broth that is desirable for the soup’s flavor and texture. Use up just about any veggies on hand to make this delicious, hearty meal in a bowl.
