kidney bean
Particularly popular for
CHILI CON CARNE and
BEANS-and-rice/Detail.aspx">RED
BEANS AND RICE, this firm, medium-size bean has a dark red skin and cream-colored flesh. Its popularity can be attributed to its full-bodied flavor. On the downside, it's an enthusiastic producer of flatulence. Unless you live in an area that grows kidney
BEANS, you won't find them fresh but will have to settle for the dried or canned forms. White kidney
BEANS-referred to as
CANNELLINIBEANS-aren't favored with the robust flavor of their red cousins, and are only available dried or canned. The tiny, tender French kidney
BEANS are called
FLAGEOLETS and may be purchased dried, canned and, sometimes, frozen. See also
BEANS.
