Navy beans go by many other names, including small white beans, haricot beans, Boston beans, and Yankee beans. Fun Facts: Navy beans have been a staple item on the US Navy’s menu since the 1800s and are also the key ingredient in Senate Bean Soup, which is served every day in the US Senate’s dining room.
Navy Beans are a filling source of many nutrients, including protein, fiber, iron, vitamins B1 and B9 (thiamine and folate), magnesium, and manganese.
With their mild flavor and dense, smooth texture, organic navy beans are perfect for baked beans and soups like minestrone soup. Can be substituted for other white beans like great northern or cannellini beans in most recipes.

Directions
For 2 cups of beans, add 10 cups of hot water. Boil 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside for one hour, and up to four hours or more. Discard soak water. Place soaked, rinsed, and drained beans in a large saucepan with fresh hot water. Water should cover beans by about 1 inch. Add 1 Tbsp cooking oil, butter, or olive oil to reduce foaming and boil-overs. Boil for 10 minutes, then simmer for 1–2 hours.
