Dark Red Kidney Beans

Deep red, hearty and made for comforting meals. SpiceBloom Dark Red Kidney Beans are a versatile dried pantry staple from Argentina, ideal for chilli, soups, stews, curries, salads and satisfying bean-and-rice dishes.

Once properly soaked and cooked, kidney beans develop a tender, creamy centre while keeping enough structure for slow-simmered dishes. Their substantial texture makes them particularly useful in recipes where you want the beans to remain distinct rather than disappear into the sauce.

How to Cook Dark Red Kidney Beans

Dried kidney beans need proper soaking and cooking before eating. Allow plenty of time and cook a larger batch if you want ready-to-use beans for several meals.

  • Sort and rinse the dried beans before soaking.
  • Soak in plenty of water, ideally overnight.
  • Drain and discard the soaking water.
  • Cover with fresh water before cooking.
  • Boil vigorously before reducing to a simmer.
  • Continue cooking until the beans are completely tender.
Important preparation guidance: Kidney beans should never be eaten raw or undercooked. After soaking, cook them in fresh water and boil vigorously for at least 10 minutes before simmering until fully tender. Do not rely on a low-temperature slow cooker to cook dried kidney beans from raw.

Smoky Kidney Bean & Rice Bowl

A simple way to turn cooked kidney beans into a filling meal. Sauté onion and garlic, add cooked kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and a spoonful of SpiceBloom Cajun Seasoning, then simmer until rich and saucy.

  1. Prepare the kidney beans safely until completely tender.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  3. Add tomatoes, cooked kidney beans and Cajun seasoning to taste.
  4. Simmer for 10–15 minutes so the flavours come together.
  5. Serve over Organic White Basmati Rice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do dried kidney beans need to be soaked?

Soaking is recommended because it helps the beans hydrate before cooking. Drain the soaking water, add fresh water and cook thoroughly before eating.

What are dark red kidney beans best used for?

They are especially suited to chilli, soups, stews, curries, bean salads, burrito bowls and rice-based meals.

Are dark red and light red kidney beans the same?

They are closely related kidney bean varieties, but dark red kidney beans have a deeper colour. Both can be used in many of the same recipes.

Can I cook dried kidney beans in a slow cooker?

Dried kidney beans should first be properly soaked and boiled vigorously before any slower cooking stage. They should never be eaten raw or undercooked.

Celestial Cranberries

I am used to supermarket brands of cranberries but they are all sweetened with sugar. I didn’t realise that you could buy organic cranberries until I stumbled on Spice Bloom earlier this year when seeking organic alternatives to our regular supermarket purchases.
This Labour Weekend I handed out teaspoons of these cranberries to several family visitors. You should have seen the looks on their faces. And the inevitable question where do you get these? So I told them.
The fruit is plump and juicy and the resultant flavour is intense. Too often people eat without much chewing. The fruit here rewards because the more you chew the better it gets.
