Navy Beans 1 article

Navy beans, also called pea beans, are small white common beans with a mild flavor and creamy texture after cooking. They are traditional in baked beans and bean soups and may also be mashed or paired with smoky, savory ingredients. Dried beans require soaking or longer cooking, while canned versions are ready to use. Compared with cannellini beans, navy beans are smaller and less elongated, making size and typical culinary use helpful identifiers within the broader white-bean category.
