Great Northern Beans
 Great Northern Beans

The beans are usually just shy of half an inch long, white and slightly-oval shaped.
Their flavour is mild, letting the beans take on really well the taste of other items they are cooked with. In France, they are often used in cassoulet, and in America, they are often used in Boston Baked Beans.
Very good for stews, casseroles and patés. These beans purée and mash well.
Cooking Tips
Simmer on stove in water for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or soak for 8 hours and pressure cook for 20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook as will go mushy.
