About Great Northern Beans
Great Northern beans thrive in the harsh northern hemisphere therefore the name. This delicate, nutty flavored and cream-colored bean is packed with protein, fiber, micronutrients including folate, magnesium, and vitamin B6. They hold their shape better than other beans, which make them excellent for soups and stews.
Simple 5 Step Method to Use Beans:
- Put the beans in a strainer & rinse under cold water.
- Pick out all the deformed beans & stray particles.
- Place the beans into a large pot, cover with several inches of water and soak for eight hours or overnight.
- Drain the beans and refill the pot with at least three times more water than beans. You may add desired spices at this step- garlic cloves, bay leaves or fresh herbs.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 45–60 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
Use the boiled beans immediately or refrigerate for use within 3–5 days. The beans will also hold in the freezer for up to eight months.
