Haricot Navy Beans are small, oval-shaped beans with a creamy white color and a mild flavor that easily absorbs the taste of the dishes they're added to. Sourced from Canada, these authentic beans are a versatile staple, perfect for a wide range of vegetarian recipes.
How to Use:
Haricot Navy Beans need to be softened before cooking. Soak them in cold water for at least 4 hours, then drain and rinse. Cook the soaked beans in fresh water by bringing them to a boil, then simmer for 60 to 90 minutes until tender. Once ready, they can be added to soups, salads, curries, or even used in vegetarian burgers and dips for extra nutrition and texture.

Sustainability
Sustainability
Navy beans are a great choice for sustainable eating because they require relatively low water usage compared to other protein sources, such as meat. Additionally, they naturally enrich the soil by fixing nitrogen, reducing the need for chemical fertilisers. Opt for dried navy beans over canned to further reduce packaging waste and carbon footprint.
