Looking for plant-based protein full of vitamins and minerals? We suggest incorporating great northern beans into your meals!
Great northern beans are a white bean that are larger than navy and smaller than cannellini.
Like kidney beans, great northern beans are packed with protein and fiber. They also contain minerals, like potassium, iron, copper, and magnesium, and vitamins, such as vitamin B-6 (learn more).
All of our beans at Core Goods (black, garbanzo, great northern, kidney, and pinto) are dry, meaning they must be soaked and cooked before eating. Find information about cooking beans on the stove here and in the Instant Pot here.
Beans are a versatile ingredient that can be added to stews, soups, salads, dips, and more. If a recipe calls for canned beans, you can substitute about 1.5 cups of cooked dry beans. Find recipe ideas below:
