White Beans (e.g., Navy Beans, Cannellini, Great Northern)
All white beans are a versatile, neutral-flavored source of high protein and fiber, making them an excellent base for purees, dips, and slow-cooked stews.
The term “white beans” encompasses several distinct varieties, all sharing a pale color but differing in size and firmness.
Navy Beans (or Pea Beans) are the smallest of the group. They are small, oval-shaped, and known for their very mild flavor and tendency to break down into a wonderfully creamy pulp during cooking. They are the star of classic American and English Baked Beans.
Cannellini Beans are large and kidney-shaped, known for a nutty flavor and relatively firm skin that helps them retain their shape, making them perfect for salads and Italian preparations like Minestrone soup.
