Kidney beans are a low-calorie, low-glycemic food that provides a healthy dose of complex carbohydrates, amino acids and other crucial nutrients like copper, fiber, folate, iron, magnesium, thiamin, manganese, potassium, protein, zinc, phosphorus and more. A cup of cooked beans contains less than a gram of fat. Fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar, boost satiety, and improve digestive health.
Kidney beans are not only a soup staple, but they make a great addition to hot and cold salads, side dishes and even pastas. Here are some different ways you can use dark red kidney beans:
Toss with green beans and wax beans to create a classic three-bean salad.
Make a delicious vegetarian pizza, or a Southwestern bean dip
Combine with ground beef (or not), chili powder, seasonings, and other beans to make Chili, or use curry seasonings to make an Indian Curry dish
Try the classic Italian soup pasta e fagioli that includes kidney beans
Mix kidney beans with rice and seasonings for a side dish with a Caribbean flair
Add to a pasta salad for a protein boost, or make a "Chili-ghetti"
Oh and there's always beans and rice
