Alubia de La Bañeza-León

Alubia de La Bañeza-León are dried beans of the local Canela, Plancheta, Riñón Menudo and Pinta varieties. They are traditionally grown throughout the provinces of Leon and Zamora.

These varieties of beans have soft and buttery texture and maintain their integrity very well when cooked. Nutritionally, due to their high protein and fibre content, Alubia de La Bañeza-León and other beans are considered to have a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol and diabetes.
