Navy Bean Seeds Heirloom Seeds, Bush Bean, Boston Pea, Soup Bean, Open Pollinated, Untreated, Non-GMO

The Phaseolus vulgaris, commonly known as the Navy Bean, was once a primary food source for the United States Navy, which is where it gets its name. This bush variety of Navy Bean produces high yields of 4-6 inch pods, each containing small white beans. The beans have a smooth texture, a mild flavor, and do not break apart easily when cooked, making them perfect for soups and baked beans. Navy Beans are known for their long storage life as a dry bean, and they are resistant to Anthracnose and Bean Mosaic Virus. This variety is also sometimes referred to as the Boston Pea.
