Description
Organic navy beans, also known as haricot beans, are a small white kidney shaped bean. They are commonly used to make baked beans, and have a light flavour and smooth texture when cooked. Navy beans are a great source of fibre, minerals and B vitamins.
Navy?beans are super versatile and great additions to vegeatarian dishes, salads, soups, hot pots, spicy bean dishes, as a side dish and so many more!
HOW TO USE
Always soak beans prior to cooking, as it reduces naturally occuring enzymes that inhibit digestion. Ideally soak your beans overnight (8 hours) but at least a minimum of 6 hours.
When soaking make sure you add 3-4x the water to beans, and in a large bowl as the beans will double in size. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.
To cook, add your rinsed beans with fresh water (ratio 1:3) into a pot and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for 60-90 minutes or until soft and tender. Drain and rinse the beans. You can now add these directly into the dish you desire, refrigerate the beans?and use in 2 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months (this is an easy way to have pre-prepared beans ready).
