Marrow Beans

Marrow beans are creamy, mild, and buttery white beans prized for their smooth texture and rich, almost meaty flavor. Larger and slightly flatter than navy beans, they hold up well during cooking and easily absorb the flavors of herbs, spices, and broths. Their satisfying, silky texture makes them a favorite in Mediterranean and American recipes alike.

Simmer them in soups or stews, mash with garlic and olive oil for a rustic dip, or toss into grain bowls and salads for added protein and heartiness. They also make a great base for baked bean dishes or can stand in for cannellini or butter beans in most recipes. Marrow beans are a humble but versatile pantry staple that deliver big on texture and taste.
