Boiled White Beans

Legumes have always been a staple in Eastern and Arab cuisine, consistently present on the tables of families of all kinds, ranging from lentils, chickpeas, and fava beans to the more prominent white beans. White beans are not just a food item but are part of the daily cooking culture, used in preparing dozens of traditional and contemporary dishes. They are a rich source of energy, protein, and fiber, making them the perfect choice for those seeking a balance between taste and nutritional value.

Preparation Stages of Baladna Boiled White Beans

At “Baladna,” we handle white beans with great care, starting from selecting the beans, ensuring that only full, uniform-sized beans are chosen. These beans undergo a precise sorting process using the latest cleaning and sterilization techniques. They are then boiled under carefully controlled conditions, ensuring a balanced cooking process that preserves their soft texture and natural flavor without becoming tough, disintegrating, or overcooking. After boiling, the beans are directly packed into sealed cans that maintain their freshness and prevent any external effects on taste or quality. They are now ready for immediate use, whether in a light salad, a hearty stew, or a daily dish on your table.

Varied Dishes… With an Eastern Flavor

Baladna Boiled White Beans are used in a variety of dishes, ranging from cold summer salads to warm stews that require slow cooking.
