Red Kidney Beans

Kidney beans are a medium sized red bean with a firm texture. They hold their shape well, making them a versatile choice for a range of dishes. They are a nutrient rich bean, high in protein and dietary fibre, and are also a good source of folate, copper, potassium and iron. Ideal cooked into chilli and other simmered dishes, or for use in salads and dips.

TO COOK: Add soaked and rinsed beans to 6-8 cups of hot water. Simmer gently until desired tenderness is reached (around 1 1/2 - 2 hrs)
