Description

Authentic Greek giant beans, also known as Gigantes, prized for their impressive size, thin skin, and exceptionally creamy texture. These premium pulses are a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, offering a nutrient-dense source of plant-based protein and fiber. Traditionally used for the iconic Gigantes Plaki, they are best when slow-baked in a savory tomato sauce with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs. Beyond baking, they add a hearty, buttery element to cold salads, rustic soups, and stews. A versatile pantry staple that brings the authentic taste of a Greek taverna to your home kitchen. Perfect for healthy weeknight dinners or as part of a traditional mezze spread.
