Also known as: Borlotti or "shell beans"
Flavor Profile: Mild flavor that is somewhat comparable to nuts, particularly chestnuts. While dried ones are quite striking in appearance, this is not typically a major consideration for their use. As cranberry beans are cooked, they lose their white and crimson-flecked appearance and take on a more common, light-brown color.
Texture: Powdery
Nutritional Highlights: Good source of protein and are high in fiber.
Common Dishes: Cranberry beans can be used in a wide range of recipes, from stews to baked bean dishes, to salads. Adding them to soups provides great nutrition and extra protein, and many people enjoy their nut-like flavor, which is somewhat subtle yet unique. They can even be cooked, lightly salted, and then kept chilled and eaten as a snack.
