Navy Beans
© Denzil Green

Navy beans are right up there at the top of the list of beans that are "hard to digest", which is the polite way writers have of saying making you "windy".

But, they are a staple of everyone's diet, because they are the most common bean used to make baked beans, whether at home in the oven, or from the store in a tin.

Substitutes
Great Northern Beans, but don't cook these for as long.

History
At one time, they formed part of the standard rations for the U.S. Navy, and it is believe that the name we use for them came from there.

Also called: Yankee Beans Alubias Chica (Spanish)
