BOB'S RED MILL: Beans Great Northern, 25 Lb
Great northern beans, also known as White Kidney Beans, have a delicate flavor and texture. They tend to take on the flavors of the foods with which they are cooked, and they make delicious soup and baked beans. Great northern beans have very similar characteristics with other white beans like navy and cannellini, and can most often be used interchangeably in recipes with other white beans.
Great northern beans are low in fat and loaded with dietary fiber. They are also a good source of iron and protein.
Great northern beans are perhaps most popular in soups and stews, as they tend to keep their form even after cooking. They also add a lot of bulk without altering the taste of the broth and can emphasize and accentuate the flavors of other more savory ingredients. Add them to casseroles, stews, cassoulets, ragouts, dips and purees, or look to the back of our package for a terrifically tasty Baked Beans recipe. Great northern beans are simple to prepare and make a wonderful side dish or addition to your favorite recipes calling for beans.
