Description
Canned cannellini beans are a variety of medium-sized white beans, originally from Italy, specifically from the Tuscany region. Known for their creamy texture and mild flavor, these beans are ideal for a wide variety of recipes, from soups and stews to salads and purées.
Their cultivation has spread throughout Latin America, where in some countries they are known by different names such as white beans, white kidney beans, or simply canned white beans.
Cannellini beans are an excellent source of vegetable protein, dietary fiber, iron, and other essential minerals. Furthermore, they are low in fat and are ideal for healthy and vegetarian diets. The canned format makes them easy to use in the kitchen, as they come pre-cooked and ready to eat, saving time in recipe preparation.
