No water, no brine, no salt, no preservatives, no colourings. The ingredient list is one line long: \u003cstrong\u003e100% red kidney beans\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavour is distinctly buttery, softer and rounder than most pulses, with a skin that stays firm and a deep red that holds. That matters more than it sounds. These colour a salad without bleeding into it, and they survive a slow chilli where a wetter, softer bean would collapse. Because \u003cem\u003eno salt was ever added\u003c\/em\u003e and there is no liquid in the pack, what reaches the plate is the bean itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the strongest label of the four. Red kidney beans are \u003cstrong\u003ehigh in fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, at 13.8g per 100g, which puts the full bag close to a whole day's reference intake for an adult. They are \u003cstrong\u003ehigh in protein\u003c\/strong\u003e, at 10.5g per 100g, and \u003cstrong\u003ehigh in potassium\u003c\/strong\u003e, at 675mg per 100g. They are a source of iron and of phosphorus, they are \u003cstrong\u003esalt-free\u003c\/strong\u003e, and they are low in sugars. All of that from a single ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraight from the bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e they are already cooked.
