What it is

Red kidney beans are a type of common bean, known for their distinctive kidney shape and dark red color. They are legumes, which are edible seeds that grow in pods on plants.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use red kidney beans as a food ingredient for their texture, flavor, and nutritional content. They are commonly found in canned beans, chili, stews, salads, and various prepared meals.

Health notes

Red kidney beans are a whole food, not a food additive, so they are not subject to FDA approval or GRAS status. They are generally recognized as a nutritious food, providing fiber and protein. Raw or undercooked kidney beans contain a natural toxin called phytohaemagglutinin, which can cause digestive upset; however, proper cooking, such as boiling, completely destroys this toxin, making them safe to eat.
