Great Northern Beans 1 article

Great Northern beans are medium-size white common beans with a mild flavor and a creamy yet relatively firm cooked texture. They work well in soups, casseroles, greens-and-beans dishes, white chili, and mashed spreads and are sold in both dried and canned forms. Their size falls between small navy beans and larger cannellini beans. That intermediate shape and ability to hold together in long-cooked dishes make them a distinct white-bean type rather than a generic name for any pale bean.
