Description
Nóstimo Organic Butter Beans are large, velvety white beans — prized across the Mediterranean for their soft, buttery bite. Cooked and canned in water in Italy, they arrive ready to eat: simply drain and rinse, then warm them through or add them cold to whatever you are making. Each 400g can holds 240g of drained beans.
There is nothing here but the beans themselves. The ingredients are organic butter beans and water, with no added salt or sugar. Butter beans are high in fibre and high in protein, while staying naturally low in fat at just 0.5g, so they add real substance to a plate without weighing it down.
Part of the Nóstimo Italian Collection, these beans are certified organic (IT-BIO-007) and canned in Italy.
Keep a few cans in the cupboard and you always have the start of a quick supper — a garlicky braise, a bean soup, a fresh summer salad or a creamy mash for toast.
Storage instructions:
Once opened, transfer any unused beans to a non-metallic container, refrigerate and use within three days.
