Great Northern beans - do they go by another name?
IMOCKU
Beans. However, I cannot locate great Northern beans and wonder if they may go
by another name. If not, has anyone in the Long Island area seen these beans
in a local grocery store?
Thanks in advance. Can't have a stupidbowl party without some "Opposing Sides
Bean Dip"

If you have no luck locally, you can order them at
http://y2kfood.com/s39p640.htm
and no, I have nothing to do with the site.

I will head back to the store. This time however, I will seek out the store
management for guidance if I come up empty again.

I love Northern Beans and find it odd you can't find them. In Pa, they can be
found either the ethnic (Goya) products or in the aisle with the other beans.
They don't go by anyother name that I know of... You can also buy them dried.

The great northern is just a larger version of the common bean or smaller
"navy bean". In your store where the dried beans are located use the
largest regular white beans you can find. Regular or navy beans should be
an acceptable substitute.
Hope this helps,

I did a little net surfing just now and found a recipe that suggests
substituting great northern beans for Italian cannellini beans in a
bean soup. If you can't find the great northerns, maybe you can find
cannellini beans and do the substitution in reverse. If it were me,
I'd be tempted to use navy beans.

great Northern bean
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.

I'm sure someone will say I goofed, but I believe they are the same as navy or
pea beans. Check epicurious.com on the dictionary page for beans. That should
give the straight skinney.

I prefer the ones called 'small whites'. I think they are just as good in any
recipe calling for Great Northern.
sf
my grandfather used to make a great "Boston Bean" using "Michigan Navy
Beans", which was a term he used interchangeably with Great Northern.
I CAN tell you that Michigan Navy Beans are indistinguishable from
Small Whites, to me. I think it's 3 different terms for the same
bean.

Hi Bob! You goofed! ;) Navy beans are small white beans. GN beans are
large white beans. Pea beans ?

Are they a different cultivar? Or are they just the same beans sorted
by size?

Here's the *complete* article from "The Food Lover's Companion" --
pea bean
~~~~~~~~
The smallest of the dried white beans, the others being NAVY, GREAT
NORTHERN, and MARROW BEANS (in order of ascending size). Pea beans are
very popular in the Northeast and are the first choice for BOSTON BAKED
BEANS. Some producers and packagers do not differentiate between pea beans
and navy beans, so packages identified as white beans may contain both.
Pea beans are also used in soups. They require long, slow cooking. See
also BEANS.

Well Rick, as you posted this under my post I'll answer. I don't know.
But I hope that someone else can answer your question. :)
