Whole

Whole navy beans are the small white dried (or cooked) seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris kept intact for Boston baked beans, soups, and purees that still show bean shape. They cook to a creamy interior with skins that usually stay on; long gentle simmering beats hard rolling boils that burst them. Soak dried beans if your kitchen prefers shorter cook times, or use unsoaked with enough liquid and patience. Discard debris and any shrivelled dark beans. Salt later in cooking if skins seem tough in hard water—technique varies by tradition. Canned whole navy beans are a weeknight shortcut; rinse to reduce can liquor salt.
