Description
Beans that are cream or whitish in color, such as haricot beans, are widely used in the making of baked beans at home.
Haricot beans, also known as white beans, pea beans, and other similar names, are small, dry, oval-shaped beans that are commonly used in baked beans, pies, and soups.
The scientific name for this bean variety is Phaseolus vulgaris, which means “common bean.” Its origins can be traced back to South America, and it was first brought to Europe in the 15th century.
These beans gained popularity after becoming a staple food for the American haricot for a lengthy period of time. Despite its mild flavor, this bean is a fantastic source of high-quality protein and should not be overlooked.
