Pink cranberry beans, also called borlotti beans, are a type of beans recognized for their unique pink and red-streaked appearance. Originally from Colombia, they have gained popularity in Italian cooking, often featured in soups, stews, and pasta dishes. When cooked, their vibrant colors fade into a creamy hue that complements their nutty taste and smooth texture.
Nutritionally, pink cranberry beans are a nutritional powerhouse. They are packed with protein and rich in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health. These beans also offer essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, vital for various bodily functions.
In the culinary realm, pink cranberry beans are incredibly versatile. They can elevate a variety of dishes, from comforting minestrone soups to elegant salads. For optimal preparation, soaking the beans overnight is recommended to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.

How to Save Seeds
Beans seldom cross pollinate with one another since they are considered to be self pollinators. However that isn't to say it won't occur. So as a precaution it is recommended to grow to different colors of beans near one another if you are limited on space and then observe the seeds when ready. The seed will show signs of crossing if you grew to different colors. If you are concerned about crossing separate by 150ft as a rule. Harvest when completely dried; cure them for a week or so by allowing them to further dry out in their pods spread out from one another, then shell and discard trash.
