Organic Dark Red Kidney Beans

Our organic dark red kidney beans contain high amounts of fiber and may help reduce the rise in blood sugar that happens after a meal. They are also a great replacement for meat as a source of vegan protein.

Kidney beans are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, such as molybdenum, folate, iron, copper, manganese, potassium, and vitamin K1. They have remarkably low carbon and water footprint, making them an environmentally-friendly choice.

Did you know that kidney beans got their name for their visual resemblance in shape and color to a kidney?

What is the difference between Dark Red and White Kidney Beans?

• Dark red kidney beans have a slightly nutty, somewhat more prominent flavor than the white kidney bean.
• Dark red kidney beans are better suited for slowly cooked recipes (chillis, vegetable stews, etc.) as they take much more time to cook than white kidney beans.
• Nutrition wise they are nearly identical and there is no overall better one.

Storage Tips:

• Nothing beats vacuum sealing for freshness.
• Store below 15°C and < 65% humidity.
• Store in the dark as light degrades flavors.
• Mason jars make great storage containers.
• Can be frozen to prolong shelf life.
