Navy beans, also known as pea beans or haricot beans, are small, oval-shaped legumes with a creamy white colour and a mild flavour. They earned the name "navy beans" because of their popularity as a staple food in the United States Navy during the 19th century. Navy beans are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, casseroles, and salads. They are particularly well-known for their role in classic American dishes such as baked beans.
Navy beans are an excellent source of protein, fibre, and essential nutrients such as folate, manganese, and phosphorus. They are low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a healthy addition to any diet. With their mild flavour and smooth texture, navy beans are a popular choice for both cooking and baking, adding depth and nutrition to a wide range of recipes.
