What it is

Dark red kidney beans are a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). They are typically grown in the United States and other countries. After harvesting, they are dried and then cooked for use in food products.

Why it's used

Cooked dark red kidney beans are often used as a source of protein and fiber in packaged foods. They add texture and a mild flavor, commonly appearing in chili, stews, and soups. Their hearty nature makes them a popular addition to savory dishes.

Health notes

Kidney beans are a natural food and not an additive requiring FDA approval. They are a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated beans as food, recognizing their nutritional value. High intake of *undercooked* kidney beans can cause nausea and vomiting due to naturally occurring toxins, but cooking inactivates these.

Allergen info

Kidney beans are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
