Native to Columbia, Cranberry shelling bean pods develop a distinct red and yellow speckled exterior when mature. Besides, these pods contain oval ivory colored beans that develop a sweet, rich and meaty flavor when cooked. In addition, Cranberry shelling beans are viewed as versatile beans designated as both fresh and dried beans. In fact, these nutrient-rich beans provide protein for fewer calories and without all of the fat and cholesterol found in meat, and they may also lower your risk for cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity
