Applies to All Our BrandsWhat Are Organic Red Kidney Beans?
Kidney beans are a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a legume native to Central America and Mexico. Organic Red Kidney Beans are very a versatile bean indeed!
Once cooked can be enjoyed by making traditional Mexican style dishes, also great for dips, sauces and snacks. Added to salads and made into purées. Red kidney beans are often associated with chilli con carne or sin carne!
Why Should I Get Organic Red Kidney Beans?
These beans hold their shape during cooking and, as a result, are perfect for simmered dishes. They are featured in chilli, Caribbean beans and rice, many Indian dishes and sweet delicacies too! When combined with rice, Organic Red Kidney Beans make a complete protein source, and, therefore, are ideal as a substitute for meat. These beans, like many kinds of legumes, must be fully boiled or otherwise cooked before being eaten as they contain natural toxins that are destroyed in the cooking process.
Instructions For Use:
Soak dried kidney beans for at least eight hours before draining and rinsing the beans (discard the soaking water). To speed up the soaking process, add a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to the soaking water. Alternatively, bring the beans to the boil in a pan, then turn the heat off and soak the beans for about an hour, covered.
To cook, place the soaked kidney beans in a pan and cover with a fresh change of cold water, then bring to the boil. The beans must boil for ten minutes to destroy the toxin. After this, simmer until cooked (approximately 45 to 60 minutes), when they should have an even, creamy texture throughout. If the centre is still hard and white after this time, they require more cooking. Do not add salt when cooking kidney beans, as it toughens their skins. Allow about 55g/2oz dried weight per person: once soaked and cooked the beans will at least double in weight.
Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp. Reseal when no longer in use or move to an airtight container.

Canned beans vs dried beans - choose the best option for your needsBy Agi K - 07/02/2025Beans, whether dried or tinned, are a very versatile and affordable pantry staple. They are also very healthy and nutritious. Beans are a fantastic source of healthy plant-based protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. You can add beans o soups, stews, salads, chilli con carne and veggie burgers or even make cakes (kidney beans brownie!) What is the best option for you - canned beans and dried beans? Canned beans Canned beans are convenient, quick and easy to prepare. They have been cooked so you don't need to cook them. They can be eaten straight from the can and added to any dish like a soup, stew, and salad. Canned beans also cheap and even if your local supermarket doesn't stock them, you can easily find organic canned beans in online stores. Canned beans can be high in sodium because of their salt content. If you are trying to reduce salt consumption, you can look for low-sodium or even no-salt-added tinned beans. Also, draining and rinsing canned beans significantly reduces their sodium content to safe levels. Some people claim the flavour might be lost in the canning process, but this makes canned beans ideal for those who don't like intense flavours. Regarding the texture, it might be softer than freshly cooked dried beans and mushy at times. Canned beans won't take the space in your fridge because they can be kept in a cupboard. Dried beans Buying dried beans works even better for the family budget. Dried beans are even cheaper than tinned beans, especially when buying dried beans in bulk. They also have increased storage life, so you can keep them in your pantry for longer. However, dried beans should be stored in an air-tight container in a dark, cool place away from humidity and heat. When you prepare dried beans you are in a full control over the cooking process. You decide how much salt you add to water to make sure that the sodium level is low. The flavour and texture of the freshly cooked dried beans are believed to be better and more intense. To make the flavour even better, you can cook dried beans with garlic and your favourite herbs and spices. The only inconvenience here is the preparation time. Dried beans need to be soaked for several hours or overnight, and they take a long time to cook. If they haven't been previously soaked in may take up to several hours to cook them until they are tender. Although some studies suggest that canned beans may have lower magnesium content, other studies claim that cooked dried beans may be harder to digest. Nevertheless, both home-cooked dried beans and canned beans are very healthy choices so you should always keep them in your kitchen pantry.
