Canadian Great Northern (Large White) Beans, Retort-Ready Export Programs

Bennett’s Beans supports export programs for Canadian Great Northern beans (also known as Large White / Light White). We work with contracted production and coordinate export-ready preparation through qualified partners. Pricing is quote-based and depends on lot profile, volume, packaging, and destination—so we don’t publish pricing online.

Clear Broths, Creamy Bite, What Great Northern Delivers

Great Northern beans are valued for a clean, mild flavour and a creamy texture that stays pleasant after processing. Low-tannin skins help keep broths clear, while the bean’s natural starch behaviour supports a smooth mouthfeel—important for canners and ready-meal lines that need repeatable results.

Great Northern lots typically target a kernel size of 185–210 ct / 100 g and are known for holding texture through 30-minute commercial retort programs.
