Gigante Beans, 10 lb – Greek Giant White Runner Beans for Mediterranean Cooking Bulk by Woodland Gourmet

Gigante Beans are extra-large white runner beans prized in Greek and Mediterranean cuisine for their impressive size, creamy texture, and ability to hold their shape during long cooking. Derived from the white runner bean family (Phaseolus coccineus), these beans are known for their striking appearance and rich culinary versatility. Most famously featured in the traditional Greek dish Gigantes Plaki, these large beans are baked in a garlicky tomato sauce and often served as a vegetarian meze alongside feta cheese and crusty bread. Their meaty texture makes them especially well suited for plant-forward entrées, while their mild flavor allows them to absorb bold seasonings such as olive oil, rosemary, oregano, chiles, and citrus. Gigante Beans perform beautifully in Mediterranean salads, braised dishes, soups, and slow-simmered preparations. Their firm structure prevents splitting, even under extended cooking, making them a reliable choice for both professional kitchens and home cooks seeking premium large-format beans. Naturally rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals, Gigante Beans provide both substance and nourishment in every serving. To prepare, sort and rinse thoroughly. Soak overnight. Drain and transfer to a large pot, covering with fresh water by several inches. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 60 to 90 minutes until tender. Ingredients: Gigante beans.
