Cannellini beans, also known as white kidney beans, are a versatile, creamy-textured legume with a mild, nutty flavor, ideal for Italian dishes, soups, stews, and salads. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and essential minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium. You can find them dried, requiring soaking and then simmering until tender, or canned for immediate use.
