I grew cannellino beans because when I travel in Italy, particularly Tuscany, one of my favorite dishes is Cannellino beans in olive oil with sage. Problem-- when I return to the US the beans are hard to find and often a little pricy (at least for a bean). So why not grow my own? So I did and they were wonderful! Easy to grow, pick and shell. After we harvested the beans, I whipped up a pot of Cannellinos in olive oil with sage, a-la Tuscan style and my husband flipped for them
They are smooth, creamy with a slightly sweet flavor -- truly a delight in our garden.
