Cannellini Beans, also known as fagioli and haricots blancs, are popular in Italian, Greek, and French cuisines. This bean is a traditional white Italian bean, sometimes known as white kidney bean. It is a haricot bean that was originally cultivated in Argentina, but eventually became a staple of Italian cuisine. This variety has a creamy texture with a mellow, nutty flavor. Cannellini Beans can be used interchangeably with other white beans and they're excellent for many dishes, especially salads, soups, stews and pureed bean spreads. Friend of the heart.
