Description

Borlotti beans (also known as the Cranberry beans) are a medium to large tan or hazelnut-coloured bean streaked with red. Nutty in flavour with a creamy texture, borlotti are popular in Italian and Portuguese cuisine. When cooked the beans will lose some of their bright markings and turn a light brown colour. Their meaty, chestnut flavour make borlotti a wonderful main dish and a perfect side dish.
