Haricot beans, (which are otherwise known as navy or phaseolus vulgaris) are ALL imported from abroad as we cannot grow them here in the UK. Many come from North America, but the most delicious ones, otherwise known as Alubia Blanca, come from Spain. That's why we get our Organic White Beans from the sunny fields of Salamanca.
