Red kidney bean

Red kidney beans are a type of legume that come from a plant. They are well-known for their distinctive reddish-brown colour and kidney-like shape, hence the name. These beans are rich in nutrients like protein, fibre, and various vitamins and minerals, making them a popular choice in many cuisines around the world.

To produce red kidney beans for consumption, the beans are typically harvested from the plant, dried, and then packaged for sale. They can be found in both canned and dry forms in supermarkets. Before being cooked, dried kidney beans need to be soaked in water to soften them, while canned beans can be used straight from the tin after draining and rinsing.

Red kidney beans frequently appear on food labels as an ingredient in dishes such as chilli con carne, bean salads, and soups. They are valued for their hearty texture and ability to absorb flavours well, adding a meaty richness to vegetarian dishes. These beans are also appreciated for their high fibre content, which can contribute to a feeling of fullness and help support a healthy digestive system.
