Hunza Organic Cannellini Beans (5 lbs)

I was unable to purchase dried cannellini beans at Whole Foods or any other market like them in my area, and I searched. I sprout all beans I use and have not been happy with the Great Northern beans at WF. These beans are perfect for my needs, they sprouted quickly and are tasty, with a creamy texture in soup.

I soaked these overnight, and boiled them for hours and they were still very woody and basically inedible. Nothing like the normal soaking andcooking time required for other beans. I was disappointed because they were organic too.

Wasted 2 days and a lovely recipe on these beans. Despite 15 hours of soaking followed by all day cooking, the beans never softened. I've been told they were probably old. Don't know, but what a waste! The only reason I bought them was my local Whole Foods was out of cannellini beans; yesterday I got some there, soaked them overnight, and the dish came out perfectly this morning. Something was really wrong with those beans from Hunza!

After cooking with these beans, I wouldn't even consider any others. Biggest and cleanest. Almost looks like they were hand-picked.

Made a kale cannellini Italian sausage soup tonight in my instant pot. Absolutely perfect. The beans are very creamy and held their shape. I will always keep these beans on hand because they are so versatile. So glad I found them and at a great price.

I have been eating beans for years. The first time I see this low quality. The color tells how old they are. And there is no shelf life expiration date on the package. Waste my time.

Cooked up great and tasted great

Will order again. Fresh, very few damaged beans, great packaging and organic.
