About Barbunya

Barbunya, also known as borlotti beans or cranberry beans, is a nutritious legume commonly used in Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine. Recognized by its pinkish-red speckled appearance, barbunya is a rich source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, iron, and potassium. These beans are often prepared in olive oil-based dishes, like "Barbunya Pilaki," combining them with vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and carrots. Barbunya supports heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels, thanks to its high potassium and soluble fiber content. Additionally, it may aid digestion and promote a feeling of fullness, making it a great option for weight management. While generally low in fat, it’s important to be mindful of added oils or sugar when preparing dishes with barbunya. Versatile and nourishing, these beans are beloved for their ability to enhance both health and flavor.
