They're called navy beans because they were a persistent staple for the US Navy during the Civil War or thereabouts. <BR/><BR/>One document from 1863 describes a successful Confederate raid on a Union camp, after which the Confederates discovered a whole cache of beans. They'd never seen beans like that before, and they called them "Yankee beans."<BR/><BR/>http://books.google.com/books?id=yEIOAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA383&lpg=PA383&dq=%22yankee+beans%22+history&source=bl&ots=eOoUoDTJ7S&sig=iY7jYWTuCJ_Xh08TYJ17VQcW2mY&hl=en&ei=uyq7SYjlNIzaMciSwaMI&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result<BR/><BR/>(paragraph at the bottom right)<BR/><BR/>I guess the Union soldiers never found any Confederate beans, or at least any they didn't recognize?the apple ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393142025560063997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440938.post-41153090993348781242009-02-19T08:57:00.000-05:002009-02-19T08:57:00.000-05:00What about Fava Beans; how do they differ from Lim...What about Fava Beans; how do they differ from Limas? www.satisfiedsole.comPam Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245836325001669380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440938.post-82433343586011806362009-02-18T23:16:00.000-05:002009-02-18T23:16:00.000-05:00Aw... beans!Aw... beans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440938.post-31197566891519638162009-02-17T19:34:00.000-05:002009-02-17T19:34:00.000-05:00interesting! did you know that vanilla beans com...interesting! did you know that vanilla beans come from an orchid?
