About LIGHT RED KIDNEY BEAN
Kroger Light Red Kidney Bean is a single-ingredient dry legume from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger brand, containing only light red kidney beans with no additives, preservatives, or flavorings. Light red kidney beans are a milder-colored variety of kidney bean with a lighter burgundy skin compared to dark red kidney beans, though the two are used interchangeably in most recipes. They have a firm texture when cooked, a meaty bite, and a mild, earthy flavor.
At 286 calories per 100 grams of dry beans with 22.9 grams of protein, 60 grams of carbohydrates, zero fat, and 14.3 grams of dietary fiber, light red kidney beans are a nutritionally dense plant-based protein source. The single-ingredient formulation confirms no sodium, no additives, and no processing beyond cleaning and packaging. No allergens are present. Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and shelf-stable for one to two years when stored properly.
Dry kidney beans require soaking for at least eight hours and must be boiled vigorously for at least 10 minutes before simmering to deactivate lectin phytohaemagglutinin, which can cause digestive distress if the beans are undercooked. Fully cooked kidney beans are essential ingredients in chili con carne, red beans and rice, minestrone, and bean salads. Available at Kroger, Ralphs, and Harris Teeter stores at a budget-friendly price per pound.
