Dried cannellini beans, also known as white kidney beans, are a versatile legume originating from Italian cuisine. These creamy, nut-flavored beans are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and magnesium. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, they support heart health, aid digestion, and promote sustained energy levels. Cannellini beans also have a low glycemic index, which helps with blood sugar regulation, making them an excellent choice for those managing diabetes. While highly nutritious, they should be properly soaked and cooked to reduce natural compounds like lectins that may disrupt digestion. These beans are a staple in dishes like minestrone soup and salads and pair well with herbs and olive oil for a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
