Navy beans are
small, white, oval-shaped, dried legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris) known for their creamy texture and mild, slightly nutty flavor when cooked. Also known as pea beans, haricot beans, or Boston beans, they were a staple food for the U.S. Navy in the early 20th century, which earned them their name. They are highly nutritious, packed with fiber and protein, and are famously used in baked beans, Senate Bean Soup, and various soups.
