Where do Great northern beans originate?

Great Northern beans originated in the Andes Mountains of South America, where they were first cultivated by the Incas over 7,000 years ago. The species Phaseolus Vulgaris, which includes Great Northern beans, is originally from the Americas and continues to be a prominent crop in many countries across the continent. Great Northern beans were introduced to North America by European colonists in the 1700s and have since become a staple in many cuisines around the world.
