Alubia White Beans NZ | Cannellini Beans from Argentina
Alubia White Beans (Cannellini)
Mild, creamy white beans that hold their shape beautifully in soups, stews, salads and slow-cooked meals.
SpiceBloom Alubia White Beans are versatile dried beans with a smooth, mild flavour and creamy texture once cooked. Their ability to remain intact during longer cooking makes them especially useful in hearty soups, tomato-based stews, casseroles and slow-cooked bean dishes.
Also known as cannellini-style white beans, they pair easily with garlic, tomato, rosemary, sage, lemon, olive oil and warming spices. Serve them warm as a side dish, cool them for salads, blend them into dips or add them to vegetable and meat-based meals.
A Versatile Bean for Everyday Cooking
Their mild flavour works with Mediterranean, European and everyday home-style recipes.
Soups and Stews
Add to vegetable soup, minestrone, tomato stews, casseroles and slow-cooked dishes where the beans can absorb the surrounding flavours.
Salads and Grain Bowls
Cool the cooked beans and combine with tomato, cucumber, herbs, red onion, lemon and olive oil.
Dips and Creamy Sides
Blend cooked beans with garlic, lemon and olive oil, or mash them gently for toast, bowls and side dishes.
