Unico Red Kidney Beans for Everyday Cooking
Unico Red Kidney Beans are firm, dark-red beans, cooked and canned ready to use and high in fibre — 6 g per half-cup serving. Their sturdy kidney shape holds up through long-simmered chili con carne, stays whole in cold three-bean and green salads, and rounds out soups, stews and rice-and-bean dishes. No soaking required — just drain, rinse and add. Firmer than creamier pinto or black beans, they keep their shape and colour in every dish.
