A Important Note: Always Cook Kidney Beans Thoroughly
Red kidney beans contain a natural toxin that is completely eliminated by proper boiling. It is crucial to soak them overnight and then boil them vigorously for at least 10-15 minutes before simmering until tender. Do not slow-cook dried kidney beans without pre-boiling, as this can intensify the toxin.

How to Use Red Kidney Beans in Your Kitchen:

• Classic Chilli Con Carne: The undisputed champion use. Their firm texture stands up to long cooking with spices, meat (or plant-based mince), and tomatoes.

• Indian Rajma Masala: A beloved North Indian curry where kidney beans are simmered in a rich, spicy gravy with onions, tomatoes, and aromatic spices.

• Hearty Salads & Grain Bowls: Add cooked, cooled beans to salads for a major protein and fibre boost.

• Vegetarian Burgers & Patties: Mash cooked beans and combine with herbs and spices to form delicious burger patties.

• Soups & Stews: Add body and heartiness to vegetable soups and stews.
