Bean Borlotto Lingua di Fuoco is a very popular, high yielding borlotti bean. The plump seeds within the pods, when mature ,will have a white background decorated with speckles of red.  Like many beans, it can be picked young at approximately fifty-six days from planting and used as a snap or green bean or it can be allowed to fully mature and be shelled for its internal seeds at about seventy-five days.

Rich in protein and carbohydrates, a fact that makes them an excellent nutritional substitute for meat in main dish soups, stews, and braises. They offer a meaty yet creamy texture and a nutty, somewhat sweet bean flavour. Their flavour and texture pairs well with tomatoes, greens such as kale, spinach, fresh herbs like basil, parsley and sage, and parmesan and pecorino cheeses.

Borlotti Beans go by different names, and their most popular other name is Cranberry Beans due to their pinkish-red colouring.
