The roots of this Borlotto Bean are deep in tradition

The borlotto bean is a cornerstone of Italian peasant cuisine, an ingredient that has nourished generations and is now being rediscovered for its extraordinary qualities. Originally from the Americas, the bean has found fertile ground in Italy, becoming the protagonist of countless regional recipes, from the classic "pasta e fagioli" to rich winter soups.

These legumes, with their distinctive streaks that disappear when cooked, revealing a vibrant color and creamy texture, have always been synonymous with conviviality and a "humble" yet incredibly nutritionally rich food. The organic version further enhances their aromatic profile, restoring the true flavor of yesteryear.

Choosing Organic Borlotto Beans means taking care of yourself.

Organic Borlotti Beans are a true treasure trove of health benefits. They're an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them a perfect alternative to meat, especially when paired with grains. Their high fiber content promotes regular bowel movements, contributes to a feeling of satiety that lasts longer, and helps moderate the absorption of sugars and fats.

Rich in minerals such as potassium, iron, and phosphorus, as well as B vitamins, these legumes support the nervous system and help combat fatigue. Being organic, they are also free of chemical residues, ensuring a clean and safe nutritional intake for the whole family.

How to Best Use: Organic Borlotti Beans

• RUSTIC SOUP OR PASTA AND BEANS A timeless classic. Sauté celery, carrot, and onion, add borlotti beans, and a wholesome Fresh Organic Tomato Pulp. Let it cook slowly and serve with a drizzle of Organic EVO Oil raw. For the “pasta and beans” version, add a short pasta shape, such as a Half Rigatone from the Senatore Cappelli Tratturo.
• RICH SIDE DISH WITH BEE MUSHROOMS A typical, tasty and enveloping dish. Cook the beans (after boiling them) in a pan with garlic, sage and a Organic Sausage from Tuscia Crumbled. Add a few tablespoons of tomato puree and let it simmer. Perfect as a side dish with meat or as a main course.
• NUTRITIOUS SALAD OR RUSTIC HUMMUSFor a quick and healthy meal, combine boiled borlotti beans with Onion Blonde thinly sliced ​​​​and quality tuna. Alternatively, blend them with garlic, oil and lemon to obtain a rustic hummus, to be served with a sprinkling of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano.
