They are typically used in a variety of culinary applications, including soups, stews, and dips.

To distinguish Great Northern beans from their siblings, it is important to note the specific varietal differences.

The classification hinges on the specific botanical and physical characteristics that identify Great Northern beans.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for dried, shelled Great Northern beans.
