Named for their inclusion in U.S. Naval rations in the 19th century, navy beans are also known as haricot beans or Boston beans.
Compared to other beans, navy beans are smaller, with a milder flavor and denser texture, making them the preferred variety for making baked bean dishes, purees, soups and stews.
Navy beans are packed with plant-powered nutrition – just one ¼-cup serving provides 5 grams of filling fiber and 8 grams of satisfying protein; it’s no surprise that these legumes are beloved by vegetarians, dieters and foodies alike.

Vegan White Bean Cassoulet
This simple, hearty dish is surprisingly flavorful thanks to a generous amount of lemon, herbs and pesto. The white beans that serve as the base become melt-in-your-mouth creamy while delivering a wealth of protein. Cook and serve it in a cast-iron or enameled pan for a rustic French presentation. Heap it over your favorite rice for a complete meal.
