FASOLIA KSEKOUNIA

[featured-images]

The meaning of ‘superfood’ is expressed in the best possible way by the white beans ‘Ksekounia’. Harvested in the summer and now available throughout the year frozen from Barba Stathis. Their creamy texture is hard to be found elsewhere and Fasolia Ksekounia are a staple in our diet, high in protein making them an excellent meat substitute for vegetarian and/or vegan diets. Served warm or cold, accompanied by anchovies, or any similar smoked treated fish, olives, chilies and rustic bread.
