Great Northern Beans

Medium-sized, oval-shaped beans with a smooth, slightly firm texture.  These plump, creamy white beans have a delicate nutty flavor and firm texture that holds up well in soups, stews, and chilis. They’re an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron and folate. Great Northerns are perfect for making hearty bean dips, salads, or baked dishes. With their mild taste, they readily absorb the flavors of herbs, spices, and broths.
