Shiloh Farms: Dark Red Kidney Beans 15 Oz (6 Pack)

The 'Kidney Bean' otherwise called 'the chili bean' with its dark red skin is named for its visual resemblance to a kidney. Red kidney beans are an integral part of the cuisine in northern region of India. Red kidney beans are used in New Orleans and much of southern Louisiana for the classic Monday Creole dish of red beans and rice. Rich in flavor. A little tougher skin than most beans. An excellent source of protein and iron. In addition to lowering cholesterol, kidney beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as rice, kidney beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. Kidney beans flavor is mild and they absorb the flavors of seasonings and the other foods with which they are cooked well. In 1942 a group of like-minded people gathered on a farm in Western New York and founded the Shiloh Community. Their common goal was to live and work together in health and harmony. To help support themselves and sustain their lifestyle they created a bakery and became known for their hearty, healthy all-natural products. Organic certification had not yet been invented. This was the beginning of SHILOH FARMS.
