About Borlotti beans
Borlotti beans, also known as cranberry beans, are a versatile legume widely used in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. Recognizable by their beige color with reddish-brown speckles, they turn a creamy light brown when cooked. Nutritionally, borlotti beans are a powerhouse, rich in protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them ideal for maintaining steady energy levels and supporting digestion. They are an excellent source of folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium, contributing to heart health and red blood cell production. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, they are a heart-friendly option and can be incorporated into soups, salads, and pasta dishes. However, like other legumes, they should be properly prepared to eliminate natural compounds that may impact digestion for some individuals. Borlotti beans offer a delicious way to boost nutrition while adding depth and flavor to a variety of dishes.
