Product Description

Greek Gigantes Beans are one of the most iconic legumes of traditional Greek cuisine. Grown in Greece and carefully selected for size and quality, these giant white beans are prized for their creamy texture, rich flavor, and their ability to beautifully absorb herbs, olive oil, and tomato-based sauces.

 

A cornerstone of classic dishes such as Gigantes Plaki baked in the oven, hearty Fasolada, or lighter Mediterranean salads, Gigantes Beans represent the essence of simple, nourishing and authentic Greek cooking. Naturally satisfying and deeply rooted in the Mediterranean way of eating, they are an essential pantry ingredient for balanced, plant-forward meals.

 

Perfect as:

  • A traditional oven-baked dish with tomato sauce and herbs
  • A hearty base for Greek Fasolada
  • A protein-rich addition to warm or cold salads
  • A comforting plant-based main course
  • A staple ingredient for Mediterranean diet recipes
