 Bland flavor compared to other CannelliniMar 15, 2010
By William Sribney
"swimmer, runner, cook"
I found these beans to be nothing special. I found their flavor to be boring and bland compared to the best of other Cannellini beans I've purchased in bulk from health food stores. On the positive side, the beans were big, plump, and fairly healthy (many had crosswise deep cracks, which was not good) and seemed fresh (purchased 12/2009 and had "best by" date of 9/2011). They cooked quickly, which is a sign of freshness, and they tasted fresh.
But their flavor was bland; some nice mineral notes, but just not very "beany." There were also some slightly off earthy notes, which I did not care for. I also found their texture to be a bit grainy and not very creamy.
I cooked them once with an overnight cold soak in a salt brine (as recommended by Cook's Illustrated to tenderize skins, which really works) and once with a one-hour hot soak in brine (Cook's Illustrated's recommended quick method). One time I cooked them on a very slow simmer to keep the beans whole (which does sacrifice some creaminess), and once at a strong simmer to let the bean skins break open to maximize creaminess. But even this latter method failed to make them creamy -- unlike most white beans. I cook lots of dry beans and have many years of experience cooking beans, so how these beans turned out had nothing to do with how I cooked them. The best of other white beans I've had cook up wonderfully creamy and flavorful. These beans were just far from the best.

 creamy beanJul 22, 2009
By Oz
Cannellini beans become like a creamy soup after they are cooked.
Although I love lentils, pinto beans and black eyed peas; I can't compare the creamy taste of cannellini beans with them.
Since I can not find it in the grocery stores, I am glad that amazon.com carries this product.
When you soak cannellini beans all come out fine, however with navy/small white beans i end up throwing away a handful because some of them won't absorb the water and stay flat.

Cannellini BeansJan 09, 2010
By Alan L. Norsworthy
Bob's Red Mill Cannellini Beans worked well for making cassoulet recipe that was in "Cook's" magazine. Used the whole bag and mulitplied recipe by 1.5 and made enough to serve a small army. Beans were uniform in size, almost no waste, flavor was wonderful.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but every time I make these, they crack more than any other bean I've ever made and they turn out dry in consistency. Otherwise, they have a great flavor and are from a great brand.
AWESOME product! We eat lots of beans!Oct 14, 2011

These dried beans are better to cook for yourself rather than purchasing canned beans and having to rinse all the salt from them. We enjoy chili and bean soups and I put beans in just about everything. Beans are a great source of protein and help regulate blood sugar. I set up the subscribe and save and it is a good deal for us.
