Description

Organic Red Kidney Beans make a mean bean chilli.

Organic Kidney Beans have a distinctive deep red colour and true to their name, they are shaped like a little kidney.  Nutrient rich and full of flavour, kidney beans have been cultivated in the Americas since prehistoric times and are now popular throughout the world.

One 90g serving of cooked kidney beans is high in Folate and a source of Thiamin (B1), Potassium, Manganese, Phosphorus and Copper.

Due to their dense texture they go really well in vegetable chilli and chilli bean pie.  They are best in simmered dishes where their flesh absorbs the flavours of the sauce.

They lend themselves to a range of flavours and are very versatile alone or mixed with our other bean varieties such as organic black turtle beans and organic turtle beans.  The deep red colour of the skin signifies the antioxidant and polyphenol content of these nutrient rich beans.  If you prefer white beans try their cousin, the organic cannelini bean.
