Cannellini beans are creamy white beans with a mild, nutty flavour and a smooth texture when cooked. Originally from South America, they became a staple in Italian cuisine, particularly in Tuscany, where they are used in dishes like Ribollita. Their ability to absorb flavours makes them a versatile ingredient in a variety of meals.
 
Nutritionally, cannellini beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fibre, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. They help support digestion, provide long-lasting energy, and go well with meat-based dishes for a balanced meal. Their naturally low fat content makes them a great addition to both rich, slow-cooked meals and lighter, fresh recipes.
 
At Ruxstons, cannellini beans work beautifully with quality meats such as our grass fed beef mince for a ragu or chilli or perhaps our chicken thighs in Mediterranean-style braises. Whether in a rustic chilli or a vibrant salad, they bring depth, nutrition, and versatility to your cooking.
