Ingredients
Organic cannellini beans (white kidney bean).
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
White Bean and Goat Cheese Spread
This creamy spread takes advantage of the smooth texture of our Cannellini Beans paired with fresh goat cheese. It's great served spread on freshly toasted (or better yet, freshly grilled) slices of a hearty sourdough or whole grain bread.
