The cannellini bean is a white-seeded variety of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, also called the white kidney bean. It is known by different names depending on region: cannellini in Italy, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, lobia in India, and safaid, meaning white, lobia in Pakistan. Its own source gives no further culinary or historical detail beyond this classification and naming, and this description says no more than that rather than inventing further specifics.
