A puree without potatoes… but full of character!

You will absolutely love it. Want to explore more with white beans in your cooking? We get it, we’re big fans too.

White beans, our daily veggie allies
When following a meat-free diet, there’s no need to skimp on protein! White beans truly shine in this respect. Packed with plant-based proteins, fiber, iron, and minerals, they help maintain a balanced and satiating diet. Moreover, they are incredibly versatile: in purees, casseroles, burgers… they seamlessly fit into various dishes and always deliver. Essentially, white beans are like the Swiss Army knife for veggie plates. Are we convincing you yet? White beans are definitely a staple ingredient in our vegetarian recipes! If you’re ready to incorporate them more often, here are a few must-try recipes: our roasted vegetable and white bean salad, our butternut squash and white bean soup, nut picada, and our vegan, gluten-free white bean and mushroom cream.
When a citrus fruit joins the puree… and transforms it
As we mentioned earlier… this little twist that changes everything is orange juice! Yes, indeed. Fresh orange juice in the puree awakens the sweetness of the carrots, elevates the white beans, and adds a subtle acidity to balance everything out. It’s understated but makes a huge difference. The bonus? A significant vitamin boost, perfect for tackling winter (or just sluggish days). Honestly, you’ll never look at puree the same way again. Enjoy it paired with our miso cauliflower steak for an ultra-comforting, character-filled veggie combo!
