Kitchen Hint of the Day!

The Kidney Bean..........


The kidney bean is a variety of the common bean. It is named for its visual resemblance in shape and color to a kidney. Red kidney beans should not be confused with other red beans, such as adzuki beans. - Wikipedia

Kidney beans are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, such as molybdenum, folate, iron, copper, manganese, potassium, vitamin K1 and phosphorus.

Canned kidney beans are high in fiber. A half-cup serving of kidney beans provides you with approximately 9 grams of fiber. Kidney beans, like other legumes, contain no fat or cholesterol and are low in calories. Some canned kidney beans are high in sodium but many companies offer a low-sodium alternative.
