Description

Red beans are medium-sized, oval legumes with a vibrant red color and a soft, creamy texture when cooked. They have a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavor that absorbs spices and seasonings well. Rich in protein, fiber, iron, and essential nutrients, red beans are a nutritious and versatile ingredient. Popular in Creole, Cajun, and Latin American cuisines, they are often used in hearty dishes like stews, chili, and the classic red beans and rice. Their ability to hold shape during slow cooking makes them ideal for soups and simmered recipes.
