Organic Cannellini Beans
1 pound of certified organic heirloom Cannellini beans grown on our farm in San Gregorio, CA. The Cannellini bean was first cultivated in the Americas but brought back to Italy by immigrants, where it was widely grown and is now used in many traditional Italian dishes. Delicious in any recipe that calls for white beans.

BASIC DRY BEAN COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse beans and check for debris. In a large pot, cook aromatic vegetables of your choice (onions, garlic, celery, leeks, carrots, etc.) in olive oil. Add the beans and enough water to cover by a few inches. Bring to a full boil for 10 minutes, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Gently cook until soft but not falling apart. Cooking time depends on the bean, typically 1 to 3 hours. Salt when the beans start to soften. Pre-soaking the beans for 2 to 6 hours will reduce the cooking time. Enjoy! -
