Borlotti Beans

Borlotti beans are cream-coloured with red streaks and a mild nutty flavour. Common in Italian and Mediterranean cooking, they’re used in soups, stews and salads. Once cooked, they become soft and creamy. Sold fresh in pods or shelled, borlotti beans from Top Fruit Market are a seasonal favourite packed with fibre and protein. Best simmered slowly or cooked with herbs and garlic.
