Before cooking, soak navy beans for eight hours and then cook, pressure-cook, or bake them. Navy beans are interchangeable with other white beans. 1 cup dried beans makes approximately 3 cups cooked beans. Use these little beans to make a delicious navy bean soup or classic baked beans, or purée them to use as a nutritious spread for crackers or bread.
Navy beans are similar to Great Northern beans, but are much smaller. They are sometimes called “pea” beans because they are similar in size to peas, but they are more oval than spherical. Navy beans are a member of the Phaseolus species, and are grown primarily in Michigan. They are related to other white beans as well as to kidney beans and pinto beans.
