What are Red Kidney Beans?

Red kidney beans, also known as simply kidney beans, get their name from their kidney-like shape and deep red color. These versatile beans are suitable for both hot and cold dishes, such as chili con carne, bean salads, and vegetarian burgers.

With their firm texture and nutritious properties, red kidney beans are an excellent meat substitute. Approximately seventy grams of beans are equivalent to one serving of meat.

Preparation

For red kidney beans from a recent harvest, pre-soaking is usually not necessary. If the beans are a bit older, soaking is recommended for a better cooking result.

• Rinse beans thoroughly with cold water
• Place in a large pot and add three times the amount of water
• Soak beans for at least eight hours at room temperature
• Use the soaking water as cooking water for extra flavor
• Cook beans until tender in one to two hours, depending on age and size

After that, they are ready for use in soups, stews, or vegetarian dishes.

Storage

Dried red kidney beans have a long shelf life when stored properly. Store in an airtight glass jar or bag in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid moisture, light, and heat to maintain quality. This way, the beans will remain in top condition for months.
