Vega Bañezana Cinnamon Bean Cloth Sack of 1 Kg

Vega Bañezana Cinnamon Bean Cloth Sack of 1 Kg. IGP BAÑEZA-LEÓN.

Vega Bañezana Cinnamon Bean is a premium variety of dried bean (alubia) of Spanish origin, specifically from the region of La Bañeza in León.

This legume is protected under the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) ‘La Bañeza-León’, which guarantees its quality, linked to the region’s cool climate and sandy soils, which provide excellent water absorption, low ash content and superior organoleptic properties (such as smooth skin and a buttery texture).

Main features:

• Appearance: Medium-sized rounded grains, with a characteristic tan color and possible subtle reddish spots. It comes in a traditional 1 kg cloth sack, ideal for storage and rustic presentation.
• Texture and Flavour: Once cooked (which is quick, taking around 1–2 hours), it has a moderately firm grain, a thin, tender skin, and a creamy interior that is not particularly grainy or floury. It produces a smooth, thick broth with a delicate and versatile flavour.
• Culinary uses: Perfect for Asturian bean stews, soups or salads. It works well in any legume-based recipe, standing out for its ability to absorb flavours without falling apart.
• Nutritional Benefits: Rich in plant proteins, fiber, vitamins (such as B9) and minerals (iron, potassium). It is a healthy and sustainable option, traditionally cultivated without additives.
