About Cranberry Beans
Cranberry Beans, also known as "Borlotti Beans" or "Thule Rajma", are oval-shaped legumes with creamy white backgrounds and speckled maroon or magenta marks. Popular in Kashmiri cuisine, they are often used in dishes like Rajma or incorporated into salads, stews, and rice dishes.
They are rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants — making them a great plant-based meat substitute. The beans have a creamy texture when cooked and a mildly sweet, nutty flavor.
