Ask Bio about this range · Beans
Sunday lunch in a Turkish household almost always means a pot of kuru fasulye simmering slowly with tomato paste, onion and a little butter, served over pilav with pickles on the side. This dried beans range is built around that dish and the many others that lean on a good pot of pulses, from a light barbunya salad dressed with olive oil to a hearty börülce stew.
What is in the beans range
The selection runs to 11 products from trusted names including DURU, BODRUM, BURCU and AYTAÇ. You will find plain white beans in a few grades and pack sizes, Duru White Beans 1000g being the everyday choice, alongside Duru 2000gr (7mm) White Beans for bigger households. For colour and texture, Duru 1000gr Cranberry Beans and Bodrum 1000gr Rosecoco Beans (barbunya) bring a nuttier, creamier bite, while Bodrum 1000g Alubia Beans and Duru 1000gr Kirgiz White Beans 8mm cover the classic large white bean look. Black eyed beans appear from both Duru and Bodrum for dishes where a smaller, quicker-cooking bean is wanted, and Burcu 600gr Boiled White Beans is a useful shortcut when there is no time to soak and simmer from raw. For catering or a large family, Aytac White Beans 4000g is the bulk option.
Choosing, storing and cooking beans
Pick the grade by dish: 7mm and 8mm white beans hold their shape well for a long-cooked stew, while barbunya and cranberry beans suit salads once cooled. Dried beans need an overnight soak in plenty of cold water before cooking, which shortens simmering time and helps them cook evenly; the pre-boiled Burcu pouch skips this step entirely. Once opened, transfer beans to an airtight container and keep them somewhere cool and dry, away from damp, where they will keep well for many months. Cooked beans freeze successfully in portioned bags, which is handy for getting a pot of fasulye on the table on a weeknight.

Beans — frequently asked questions
What should I buy first from the beans range?›
Start with a plain 1000g pack of Duru or Bodrum white beans for classic kuru fasulye, then add a pack of barbunya (cranberry or rosecoco beans) if you enjoy a creamier bean salad or stew alongside it.
How long do dried beans keep once opened?›
Stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, dried beans keep well for many months. Their texture is best within the first year, after which they may take longer to soften even with soaking.
What pack sizes are available?›
Sizes range from a 600g pre-boiled pouch and standard 1000g bags up to a 4000g bulk pack of white beans, so both single households and larger families are covered without overbuying.
Are the beans on this page halal certified?›
Many of the products in this range are halal certified, and where that applies it is stated clearly on the individual product page, so you can check the exact certification before ordering.
