Navy beans got their name from their use as a staple food in the diets of U.S. sailors. These beans are also known as haricot and white pea beans. Whatever you call them, the beans contain a wealth of nutrients like iron, B vitamins, and healthy amino acids. As a complex carbohydrate, they're another one that can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Navy beans help regulate metabolism, promote healthy digestion, and are even good for the skin because they’re rich in copper.
