Description

Bush's kidney beans are a popular variety of red beans, known for their mild flavor and firm texture that makes them ideal for a wide variety of recipes, from stews to salads and chilies. These beans are characterized by their bright red color and medium size, which helps them absorb seasonings well and hold their shape when cooked.

The origin of kidney beans dates back to Central and South America, where they have been a staple food for centuries. The Bush's brand is highly recognized in the United States for offering high-quality beans that simplify preparation thanks to their ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat packaging, adding a practical touch in the kitchen.

In terms of their properties, Bush's kidney beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and other essential minerals. They are low in fat and provide sustained energy, making them a nutritious and versatile ingredient for balanced diets.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, kidney beans are also known as porotos rojos (Argentina, Chile), caraotas rojas (Venezuela), habichuelas coloradas (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic), or simply frijoles rojos in Mexico and Central America. These terms can be used interchangeably in recipes, depending on the region.
