Red speckled kidney beans

Listing ID #3541505

Just as its name suggests, the kidney bean is shaped like a kidney. Since these dark red beans hold their shape really well during cooking and readily absorb surrounding flavors, they are a favorite bean to use in simmered dishes. Kidney beans, like other beans, are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber.
Uses:These hearty beans are a good source of protein, and when combined with a whole grain such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice provide protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods without the high calories or saturated fat found in these foods. In addition to its protein beneficial effects, soluble fiber helps stabilize blood sugar levels and increases your energy by helping to replenish your iron stores.
