Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Once the bean pods are fully mature, they are ready to be harvested. This is typically done by machinery that can mechanically separate the pods from the plants.
Pod Cleaning and Shelling: After harvesting, the bean pods are transported to processing facilities. Here, they undergo a cleaning process to remove dirt, debris, and any remaining plant material. Then, the pods are mechanically shelled, which means the beans are removed from the pods.
Sorting and Grading: The shelled beans go through a sorting process. This involves the use of machines that separate the beans based on size, color, and quality. Light Red Kidney Beans are sorted to ensure uniformity in appearance.

Benefits
Light Red Kidney Beans have a mild, nutty flavor with a slightly sweet undertone, similar to their darker counterparts. When cooked, they absorb the flavors of the ingredients they are prepared with.
These beans have a tender, creamy texture when properly cooked. They should be cooked thoroughly to ensure they are not too firm or grainy.
Light Red Kidney Beans are light pinkish-red in color, resembling a paler version of the darker red kidney beans. They are kidney-shaped, as the name implies.
Light Red Kidney Beans share similar nutritional properties with dark red kidney beans. They are a nutritious source of plant-based protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. They are particularly rich in protein, fiber, folate, iron, potassium, and various phytonutrients. They are a good source of complex carbohydrates and have a relatively low glycemic index.
Light Red Kidney Beans contain a significant amount of moisture, contributing to their creamy texture when cooked. They also release starch during cooking, which can help thicken soups, stews, and other dishes.
Similar to dark red kidney beans, on their own, light red kidney beans have a subtle nutty aroma. When cooked with aromatic ingredients like garlic, onions, and spices, they can absorb and enhance the overall aroma of a dish.
Light Red Kidney Beans are often used in combination with a variety of other ingredients to create balanced dishes. They pair well with vegetables, grains, meats, and various seasonings
The light pinkish-red color of these kidney beans provides a visually appealing contrast when used in dishes with lighter-colored ingredients. They can add depth and contrast to salads, soups, and stews.
Light Red Kidney Beans are widely used in cuisines around the world, just like dark red kidney beans. They are a staple in Latin American, Caribbean, Indian, and North American cuisine. Dishes like chili con carne, rajma (an Indian kidney bean curry), and rice and beans are popular examples of their cultural influence.
Light Red Kidney Beans are a valuable source of plant-based protein, making them an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans. Like all kidney beans, they contain lectins, which can be harmful if the beans are not properly cooked. They are also a good source of fiber, which can be beneficial for digestive health.
