My only experience with Goya is with canned beans. In a can, they
have what they called "small white beans". They might also have
them dried.

I can't figure out what difference it might make which bean one
uses, but then again I don't like beans very much. They all
taste the same to me. I'll sometimes take a forkful or two of
baked beans to be polite, but I try to swallow them ASAP without
tasting them. Luckily I'm not in that position very often.

When I do eat beans, I prefer them toothsome, although I'll put
a can of Great Northern into a vegetable soup, and red lentils
cooked to "pease porridge" consistency don't bother me.
