Earth Red Kidney Beans
Earth Red Kidney Beans, also known as 'the chili bean', or just the 'red bean', are sold dried and are 100% organic.
This tasty little bean adds colour and texture to a variety of dishes, and is conventionally used in Mexican chili, or in rice and vegetable dishes. They are especially scrumptious when simmered with seasonings, as they absorb surrounding flavours very well. Alternatively, use them in salads, soups, or casseroles.
Dried Red Kidney Beans are good source of starch, protein and dietary fibre, and provide generous amounts of molybdenum, folic acid, manganese, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamin B1 and Vitamin K.
Like most beans, Kidney beans contains soluble and insoluble fibre, which not only helps lower cholesterol and promote healthy bowel movements, but also prevents rapid changes in blood sugar levels after meals.
Please note that Kidney beans should be soaked over night, and thoroughly cooked. They contain a toxic compound called lectin phytohaemaggluttinin, which is easily degraded when the bean is cooked at 100'C or higher.
