Corona Beans

Corona Beans

Corona beans are larger than the standard lima and are cream colored and plump, with a shape almost like a half moon. They are also known as sweet white runners and make a good substitute for the gigante beans grown in Europe. They have a pleasing texture and hold their shape well in marinated salads.  Known in Italy as the "poor's meat" these beans triple in size and have a creamy texture.  This package of Corona Beans makes enough to serve 14 people.  We love to add rehydrated Boscaiola sauce to ours with a big glug of olive oil and good quality tuna in oil. This product comes in a 1 pound bag.
