About Kidney bean flour
Kidney bean flour is a milled powder made from kidney beans, rather than whole beans served intact. Depending on the product, it may be made from raw or heat-treated beans; that distinction affects how it can be used and cooked. It is used in some baking and cooking as a legume flour, often blended with other flours or incorporated into batters and doughs.
The flour is typically fine and powdery, with a pale to reddish-brown colour depending on the beans and processing. Its flavour is bean-like and earthy, and it thickens mixtures as it hydrates. Products may differ in grind, bean variety and heat treatment, so instructions for one flour may not apply to another.
