Great Northern Beans

Buying Tips

Choose smooth, uniformly shaped dried beans.

Varieties

Like the smaller navy bean, Great Northern beans are related to kidney beans and pinto beans. Most Great Northern beans eaten in the United States are grown in the Midwest.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Before cooking, soak the beans for 8 hours and pressure cook for 20 minutes, or simmer on the stove for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After cooking with savory spices, Great Northern beans can be puréed into a delicious soup, sauce, or pâté. 1 cup of dried Great Northern beans yields approximately 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans.

Storing

Store them in airtight containers in a cool, dry place; they will keep for up to a year.
