Cranberry is an odd name for a bean. Thought to be originally from Colombia. Cranberry beans are soft and dense with a velvety, rich texture. The thin skins help produce a rich bean broth, making it the natural friend of pasta e fagioli (pasta fazool) as the liquid coats each noodle with its luxurious sauce. The Alubia Blanca is a small, versatile Spanish-style white bean. It has a creamy texture and holds its shape even with long, slow cooking.
