Description

A staple for soups, chili, and hearty stews, Light Red Kidney is the classic bean prized for its smooth texture, rich flavor, and excellent holding quality. Bushy plants grow 18–24 inches tall, producing long pods filled with large, kidney-shaped beans that dry to a warm brick-red hue.

The beans cook up creamy yet firm, absorbing flavors beautifully without falling apart—ideal for slow-cooked dishes or bean salads. Their mild, meaty taste and high protein content have made them a global kitchen essential.

A descendant of traditional South and Central American kidney types, this variety has been refined over generations for uniform size and dependable performance. Productive, disease-tolerant, and easy to harvest, Light Red Kidney remains the gold standard for reliable yields and exceptional culinary versatility.
