Papa's Choice White Kidney Beans 1.5kg

Description

Papa's Choice White Kidney Beans 1.5kg are dried cannellini-style white kidney beans — a creamy, mild bean suited to stews, soups and bean salads, rather than moi moi or akara (which use black-eyed beans). The 1.5kg pack suits regular household cooking.

How to cook

• Soak overnight in cold water — this is important, as kidney beans should not be cooked from fully dry without soaking first.
• Boil in fresh water for at least 10 minutes at a rolling boil, then simmer for a further 45-60 minutes until fully tender.
• Use in soups, stews or a hearty bean salad.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry cupboard in an airtight container.
• Use within 12 months for best flavour and cooking performance.

Frequently asked

How does this differ from red kidney beans?

White kidney beans are milder and creamier than red kidney beans, which have a firmer texture and stronger flavour.

Why is soaking important?

Soaking and a full boil help break down compounds in raw kidney beans, so don't skip this step.
