Phaseolus vulgaris 'Borlotti', commonly known as Borlotti or Cranberry beans, are a brilliantly colored, medium to large beans. They are a treat for the eyes with their tan or hazelnut base splashed with hues of red, magenta or black. Bred first in Colombia and later in Italy for a thicker skin, these beans are favorites in Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Greek cuisine, offering a creamy and flavorful addition to any dish. Their unique colorful pods are a sight to behold, yet they belong to the same annual species as the common green beans. The beans are excellent sources of protein, fiber, and minerals, making them a healthy choice for any meal. These beans are cultivated worldwide. You can enjoy them fresh in late summer and early fall, or in dried or canned form. Easy to grow at home, Cranberry beans feature trailing green vines, trifoliate leaves with spade-shaped leaflets and vibrant, marbled pods. As a bonus, these beans fix nitrogen and enrich the soil where they grow. Experience the lighter, nuttier taste of Cranberry beans today!
