Peak Light Red Kidney Beans (10 lb.)

Peak Light Red Kidney Beans, primarily grown in Minnesota, are so named because of their shape. They are thought to have originated in Peru about 8,000 years ago and spread by migrating tribes.

Kidney beans have a full flavor, soft texture and hold their shape during cooking, which makes them popular in chili, Caribbean red beans and rice as well as many Indian dishes. The 10lb package is perfect for home use as the beans can be stored in an air tight container for up to 2 years. If you want to prepare dried beans ahead for the convenience of a can, Peak Light Red Kidney Beans can be cooked in the slow cooker until they are ‘al dente’ and then frozen in portion size containers for that same convenience.

Light Red Kidney Beans are kosher, fat free, gluten free, and an excellent source of protein and fiber. Eating three cups of beans per week is recommended by the USDA because they are a nutrient dense, fiber rich, plant based protein.

How Can You Add More Beans to Your Diet?

Getting three cups of beans in your weekly diet is easy and fun. Some suggestions are to add them whole to your favorite soup or toss them in a summer salad for an extra protein kick. Experiment with pureed beans as the basis of dips and spreads.
