Details: 

Northern bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a legume related to kidney bean. They originated in Peru and were disseminated over the Americas by Spanish expedition. The name may have derived from the bean's greater size (approximately 1/2 inch long) and the fact that it is typically grown in the northern Midwest.

Great Northern beans, while similar in appearance to navy beans, have a grainier texture and keep their shape better when cooked, making them suitable for soups, salads, and casseroles. They are commonly used in baked beans and soups.

Northern beans are abundant in protein, giving more than 30% of the daily need. They provide up to half of the daily iron requirement, as well as significant quantities of folates and fiber.
