great Northern bean
Large white
BEANS that resemble
LIMA BEANS in shape but that have a delicate, distinctive flavor. They're grown in the Midwest and are generally available dried. As with other dried
BEANS, they must be soaked before cooking. Great Northern
BEANS are particularly popular in baked bean dishes and can be substituted for any white
BEANS in most recipes. See also
BEANS.
