الفاصوليا البيضاء


Explanation:
إضافة لما ذكره الأخ/سامي أعلاه هذا هو التعريف

Navy Beans is a white oval-shaped legume. This pea-sized bean, also known as Yankee bean, gets its name from the fact that the U.S. Navy has been using it as a staple food since the mid-1800s. Navy bean is widely used in canned pork and beans.
