One popular nutritious specialty from the sunny Mediterranean region are Giant Butter Beans called "Gigantes" in Greece. Order with or without Tomato sauce.
These hearty beans have a creamy texture and can be warmed and eaten out of the can as an appetizer with meats, cheeses, and olives.
They also work well for a side dish, see the picture above, and the link to an accompanying recipe for Greek Butter Bean Salad
