In a recipe I am trying to make this weekend, I saw the following: "2 cups dried Great Northern Beans, soaked, cooked and drained" Where can I find these? I could not find them at my local grocery store. Are there any substitutions that would work well? |

They are a small, white, mildly flavored bean. You can use cannellini or navy beans instead. |

Like the other respondants said, other white beans of a similar size/shape would make fine substitutions. The GNBs have a very mild flavor. I would even say other off-color beans would be fine, like canellini or kidney beans if your don't mind the color mix. |

I thought Great Northern beans and Navy beans were the same. Look in ethnic markets, they have a great range of dry beans and different types of rices, also a good place to look for large quantities of spices if you make your own spice mixtures. |

Additionally a lot of farmers markets will carry dried beans/lentils/rice. The one I frequent has a large variety for a low cost. Worth a shot. |
