For Realfoods by Organico, 2025 continues exactly where 2024 left off with a new swathe of versatile, best-in-class ‘larder essentials,’ which will soon include a 6-strong family of high-end beans and pulses.
Once again, there’s a strong Mediterranean flavour to a range that has been meticulously sourced from Italian family farms, who insist on going the extra distance to ensure that these beans packed with beneficial fibre, not only hold their shape but don’t become too starchy in texture.
Each and every batch of beans is hand sorted, soaked overnight and pressure cooked before being allowed to bathe in Sicilian sea salt, becoming the latest chapter in Organico Realfood’s unwavering pledge to tap into the simple, unadulterated joy associated with tasty real foods.
According to Organico founder, Charles Redfern, ‘Naturally we’re responding to a growing curiosity for high-end beans and pulses with nutritional upsides. For some food enthusiasts these increasingly popular larder essentials provide a deliberate dietary shift towards hearty yet wholesome plant-based food and improved gut health, whilst for others these protein-rich pulses and beans offer a salutary lesson in meat reduction, albeit the discreet presence of a little bacon or chorizo to add umani might well be embraced.
In the first instance Realfood Organico’s range will consist of: Borlotti Beans, Chickpeas, Red Kidney Beans, White Cannellini Beans, Black Turtle Beans and Fine Peas
‘As one of the tastiest, most sustainable food categories on the planet it was important that we lent our weight to the great bean and pulse debate by doing our bit to ensure they stay front-of-plate. Needless to say our ‘as nature intended’ beans and pulses represent the most ‘planet positive’ range you’ll find on shelf, adhering to our uncompromising organic and environmental impact targets in terms of pesticides, climate and biodiversity.’
