Description

A classic Italian heirloom, Tuscan Cannellini is the traditional white bean beloved for its smooth, creamy texture and delicate, nutty flavor. Bushy plants grow 18–24 inches tall, producing clusters of straight pods filled with plump, ivory-colored beans that dry evenly and shell easily.

The beans cook to a velvety consistency without losing shape, making them perfect for soups, stews, salads, or traditional Italian dishes like minestrone and ribollita. Their mild yet rich flavor pairs beautifully with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.

Long cultivated in Tuscany and central Italy, Cannellini beans have been a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. Adaptable and productive in most climates, this variety brings both elegance and sustenance to the garden—an heirloom that embodies the heart of Italian seedkeeping and culinary tradition.
