About Red kidney bean
Red kidney beans are large, kidney-shaped beans with a deep red skin and a firm texture when cooked. Their flavour is mild and earthy, and they readily take on the flavours of the foods they are cooked with.
They are sold dried or precooked, including canned beans, and are used in soups, stews and other savoury dishes. Dried beans require cooking, whereas canned beans are already cooked; added salt or liquid can affect comparisons between products.
