New On Our Shelves

Cranberry Beans Our Organic Cranberry Beans are grown, cleaned and bagged on a family farm in Othello, Washington. The farm is dedicated to improving soil health; producing healthy, delicious crops. These beautiful beans are ivory in color, with red speckles throughout. They are high in protein, folic acid, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium and vitamin B6. Cranberry beans are traditionally used in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. They have an appealing sweet, mild flavor and are a hearty addition to soup, salads, pasta dishes, and casseroles. Cooking Directions: Rinse and sort through beans; soak overnight in cold water. Drain and cover with water by 4 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and begin checking for softness at 15-20 minutes. Find them now in the bulk section!
