About Rice bean
Rice bean is a small legume, usually eaten as a dried seed after cooking. The seeds are commonly oval to kidney-shaped and may be red, brown, yellow, or mottled, depending on the variety. Cooked rice beans become soft and creamy while generally retaining their shape; their flavour is mild and earthy.
They are used much like other dried beans in soups, stews, and mixed legume dishes, and may also be ground or processed into flour. Soaking, cooking method, and whether the seed is whole or milled affect its texture and the form being compared; the name does not mean the bean is made from rice.
