cranberry bean
Also called shell
BEANS or shellouts, these beautiful
BEANS have large, knobby beige pods splotched with red. The
BEANS inside are cream-colored with red streaks and have a delicious nutlike flavor. Cranberry
BEANS must be shelled before cooking, and lose their red color during the cooking process. They're available fresh in the summer and dried throughout the year. See also
BEANS.
