Navy beans, also known as haricot beans, are small, oval-shaped legumes known for their creamy texture and mild flavor. Native to the Americas, they have become a staple in global cuisines and are especially popular in soups, casseroles, and baked bean dishes. Packed with nutrition, navy beans are an excellent source of fiber, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like folate, magnesium, and iron, making them a heart-healthy choice. The fiber content supports digestive health, while their low glycemic index makes them suitable for blood sugar regulation. Although naturally low in calories and fat, preparation methods such as adding sugar or fatty meats can diminish their health benefits. Versatile and nutrient-dense, navy beans are a valuable addition to any diet, particularly for those seeking to increase their intake of wholesome, plant-based foods.
