About White kidney bean

White kidney beans are large, pale cream-to-white dried beans with the characteristic kidney-like shape. Once cooked, they have a mild flavour and a tender, creamy interior that can hold its shape, depending on cooking time and the bean variety.

They are sold dried and cooked, including canned, and are used in soups, stews, salads and other bean dishes. Cannellini is a familiar white kidney-bean type, but a catalogue entry named only “white kidney bean” does not establish that particular variety or a specific processing method.

Official national food-composition reference. The displayed food form is part of the estimate; cultivar, recipe, brand, processing and preparation can change values.

Compare cooked, drained beans with other cooked beans, not directly with dry seeds; water absorption changes the edible form. Canned beans can also differ from home-cooked beans because of their packing liquid and preparation.
