Red kidney beans

We offer fine quality red kidney beans, which are a rich source of dietary fibers and proteins. Red Kidney Beans can be cooked by themselves or with other lentils to make tasty gravies. These are a very rich source of slow release complex carbohydrates and hence are a great and healthy food supplement to hi-carb dietary foods. These red kidney beans take a little longer than most lentils to cook. We are a prominent manufacturer, exporter and supplier of red kidney beans from Douala, Littoral Region of Cameroon.

Details :

• Kidney beans, like most beans, are an excellent source of soluble fibre (25% fibre, half of which is soluble fibre) and protein (just under 25%). In addition, kidney beans are high in iron, folate (natural folic acid), and trace nutrients such as magnesium.
• You must cook kidney beans properly. This usually means soaking them for a few hours before cooking them for between 20-40 minutes, depending on taste and how long you soaked them for. Of course, if you have a pressure cooker they will only take around 15-20 minutes, even if you do not soak them.
• Like all beans, kidney beans are a great source of slow-release carbohydrates. Of their 60% carbohydrate, 97% are complex carbohydrates rather than sugars. Beans are a neglected source of slow-release energy. We recommend kidney beans in a mix including Chick Peas, Black Eye Peas and White Beans, for a great and diverse mix of slow-release energy.
