Progresso Cannellini Beans are large, white beans, commonly called white kidney beans. They are an important ingredient in many Italian dishes, especially those from Tuscany. Progresso Cannellini Beans hold their shape well in cooked dishes, which makes them the perfect addition to soups, stews and casseroles as well as salads. These beans are a great way to add protein and fiber to favorite dishes.

These cannellini beans are by far the best and I keep them in my pantry. Unfortunately I can not find them now in my area so I would be so happy to be the winner and receive a case of beans.
I AM CRAZED AT THE THOUGHT THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND CANNELLINI BEANS (PROGRESSO) IN ANY SUPERMARKET IN SUFFOLK COUNTY LONG ISLAND. THEY ARE THE ONLY BRAND I EVER USED, PLEASE ADVISE WHERE OR WHEN THEY CAN BE FOUND. THANK YOU
I am mortified that I can not find Progresso cannellini beans anywhere in my area. I am told they have been discontinued! Please tell me this is not true. They are the best ever and the only white bean I will use!
Cathy, this is from the comment thread of another post here (this isn’t me, I’m just pasting it here):
“Thank you for your interest in our Progresso Cannellini Beans. As you may have noticed we have had a bit of problem recently with supplying our grocery chains with these great beans. Let me first apologize for that and to let you know what has happened. Due to a recent crop shortage we have been unable to keep up with production demands and that has led to the recent availability problems you are experiencing. The good news is we now have enough beans to start production once again. You should start seeing Progresso Cannellini Beans on your store shelves in early January. Go ahead and tell your store manager to put there order in now. Thanks again for your interest. Mike Grant, Progresso Brands Product Specialist, General Mills, Inc.”
why can’t i purchase your cannellini beans in any stores. i live in nassau county new york and all the retailers are telling me your company has discontinued the product.
Len, if you read the explanation right above your comment you’ll find out that they will again be available in January, as there was a shortage of the cannellini beans.
I am so glad to see that Progresso Cannellini beans will again be available. I have searched high and low to find them and after trying every other brand of cannellini beans on the market (and not liking any of them) I asked the manager of our local store if he could order them for me. You can’t imagine how dissappointed I was when he said they could no longer get them. He was under the impression that you had discountinued production. I am so glad that I can tell him they will be coming back.
When will they be back on the shelves?
