Ready to cozy up with a bowl of something truly special? Rancho Gordo's Cranberry Beans are here to transform your pasta e fagioli (pasta fazool) into a masterpiece. These aren't just any beans; they're soft, dense, and boast a wonderfully rich texture that melts in your mouth.
What we adore most is how their thin skins create a luscious bean broth, clinging to every noodle with its luxurious sauce. Originally from Colombia, these beans have traveled the world, known by many names like Madeira and Borlotti. No matter what you call them, they're a delightful addition to any pantry.
