Red kidney beans are large, kidney-shaped legumes with a deep red colour and a robust flavour. They are a staple in cuisines around the world, particularly in dishes such as chilli, soups, stews, and salads. Red kidney beans are known for their creamy texture when cooked and their ability to absorb flavours, making them a popular choice for hearty and satisfying dishes.
These beans are a rich source of plant-based protein, fibre, and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and potassium. However, it's important to note that raw or undercooked red kidney beans contain a naturally occurring toxin called lectin, so they should always be thoroughly cooked before consumption to ensure they are safe to eat. Once properly cooked, red kidney beans are not only delicious but also nutritious, making them a versatile ingredient in a wide range of cuisines and dishes.
