Bean, Small Red

From Hummingbird Wholesale

Our Organic Small Red Beans are grown on a farm in Idaho. This 500 acre farm uses Organic methods and has crop that is rotated every few years in order to preserve soil quality.

Shaped like kidney beans except smaller, these mini crimson legumes are also referred to as Mexican red beans. Delicious in soups, salads, chili and Creole dishes, small reds retain their bright ruby color, oval shape, and firm texture when cooked.

Small Red beans are loaded with soluble fiber and are also an important source of two essential amino acids not found in cereals, lysine and threonine. In turn, whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein.

Cooking Directions: Rinse and sort through beans; soak overnight in cold water. Drain and cover with water by 4 inches. Add kombu seaweed if desired (optional; helps with digestibility). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and begin checking for softness at 15-20 minutes.
