About Dark red kidney bean

A dark red kidney bean is a kidney-shaped variety of common bean, usually sold dried or cooked and canned. It is used in simmered dishes, salads and other recipes that call for a firm, intact bean.

The dried beans have a deep red skin and pale interior; when cooked, they become tender while generally retaining their shape. They have a mild, earthy flavour. The term distinguishes this dark red form from lighter red kidney beans, but does not specify whether the beans are dried or cooked.
