Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Navy beans are grown in fields and harvested when they are mature. The beans are allowed to dry naturally on the plants before being collected.
Cleaning: After harvesting, the beans are cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and any damaged beans. This is done using machines that separate the good beans from impurities.
Drying: The cleaned navy beans are dried to reduce their moisture content. This is important for preserving the beans and preventing spoilage during storage.

Dried navy beans have low moisture content, which is advantageous for dishes where you want to control the moisture level. They can also serve as natural binding agents in recipes due to their starch content.
