About Gigantes beans
Gigantes Beans, also known as giant beans, are a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Greek dishes. These large, white lima beans are renowned for their creamy texture and ability to absorb flavors, making them ideal for baked recipes like Gigantes Plaki, a classic dish with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, Gigantes Beans support digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. They're also a good source of iron, magnesium, and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and promote overall wellness. Despite their nutritional benefits, their preparation often involves olive oil and tomato-based sauces, which can add calories depending on portion size. For a healthier option, they can be served in salads or lightly seasoned with fresh herbs and lemon juice. Versatile and nutrient-dense, Gigantes Beans are a delicious addition to a balanced diet.
