cannellini beans

Italian white legumes

Cannellini beans are large white kidney beans, creamy in texture and mild in flavor.

They're a staple of Italian cooking, appearing in soups like minestrone and pasta e fagioli, as well as in salads and dips.

The name comes from Italian, referring to their elongated shape: I made a white bean dip with cannellini beans and rosemary.
