Borlotti beans are a type of bean that comes from the Phaseolus vulgaris species. They are also known as cranberry beans, Colombian beans and Mexican beans.

Borlotti beans originate from Colombia and are grown in different countries and continents, including Europe, Chile and Portugal.
They are generally larger than other beans, with a unique spotted pink and crimson color.
Once cooked, the colors fade slightly, and the beans turn a light brown color.
In terms of taste, Borlotti beans have a slightly nutty and creamy flavor, making them popular in Mediterranean dishes
