Originally from Colombia, cranberry beans also go by other names such as borlotti, Madeira, saluggia, and wren's egg beans. Texturally, they're delicate and creamy. Famous for their nutty flavor, cranberry beans work magic in cold-bean salads, hearty soups, and pastas. And they're great in classic Greek, Italian, and Portuguese dishes.
