Soaked White Kidney Beans

White kidney beans are a type of legume, also known as cannellini beans. They are typically sold dried and must be soaked and cooked before consumption. Soaking helps to soften the beans and reduce cooking time.

Manufacturers use soaked white kidney beans as a source of plant-based protein and fiber. They add a creamy texture and mild flavor to dishes. They are commonly found in salads, soups, stews, and pasta dishes.

White kidney beans are a nutritious food, providing protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. They are not subject to FDA regulation as an additive. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated beans as food, and no specific concerns have been raised regarding their consumption as part of a balanced diet. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
