We've all tried red kidney beans before, but have you ever seen them used like this? Below are some of the best red kidney bean recipes we've found. Commonly you might see Mexican red kidney bean recipes and many South American dishes, but other cuisines incorporate kidney beans including Creole and Middle Eastern.
As with all pulses red kidney beans are high in fibre and a unique mix of vitamins and minerals. They are also high in starchy carbohydrates which take time for the body to break down, unlike simple carbs found in processed foods which spike blood sugar levels. Like most legumes they are also high in protein and combine well with grains and seeds like sesame seeds to form complete protein. Now you know why kidney beans always seem to be paired with rice! There are also many great kidney bean recipes for kids and babies because when mashed up they are easy to eat but with all that great nutrition.
In Australia white kidney beans are more commonly known as cannellini beans which means most of us know red kidney beans simply as kidney beans. They can be milled to create a pulse flour which can be used as an alternative to traditional grain flours.
