Gigante Beans / Greek Giant Butter Beans

Lots of black spots/areas on beans. When initially cooked, the beans were crunchy. Lots of oil/butter seemed to solve the crunchy problem and in the end the taste was wonderful.

First timer here. Oh yum! Hearty and creamy and so good just plain! I will most likely keep these giant gems on a regular pantry rotation. Am curious, however, about the toughness of the skins. Matter of age, drying process ??? Lost a lot in the soaking stage then picked many out before adding to my minestrone soup.

appreciated the consumer service to select and deliver the beans I needed. unable to get to the store at the time.

I was so excited to receive my beans. I have sporadically looked for what I have only known as Gigande Beans for some time. I was ecstatic to finally find them in a dried state. I've only seen them on olive bars in a vinaigrette. I can't wait to cook with them.
