Certified Organic White Kidney Beans - 25lb
White Kidney Beans are alternately known as Cannelini Beans, Safaid Lobia, or Rajma Safed
This is a versatile bean used in a variety of cuisines from curries to bean bakes to soups
Beans should be stored in a cool, dry environment to prevent spoilage. 50 lb bags available by request (2000 lbs minimum order).
—————-
Due to hotter and drier than usual conditions at harvest last year the moisture of the beans was lower than our usual target of 15-16% leading to a slightly higher level of split beans and dry checks than we normally prefer to sell
Dry checks are small splits in the skin of the bean that are visible before the beans have been soaked. This does not impact the flavor, nutrition, or texture of the beans once cooked but can lead to a higher portion of the beans splitting during cooking than might usually be expected due to the weakened seed coat.
If this is a concern for you we recommend pre-soaking the beans in a moderately salted bath for at least a few hours before cooking - contrary to popular belief salt actually helps with the hydration and expansion of large beans like Kidneys by softening the skins and helping them stretch.
