About Dark kidney beans

Dark kidney beans are dark-coloured beans of the kidney-bean type. The catalogue does not name a cultivar or specify whether the beans are raw, dried, cooked, canned, or otherwise processed, so the description applies only to the broad bean category.

They are used in foods as a legume, commonly sold whole in dried or prepared forms. Their dark colour and kidney-like shape are suggested by the name, while firmness, skin texture, and flavour depend on variety and preparation. Check the product label to establish the particular state and any packing liquid or added ingredients.
