Red kidney beans are pulses. The figures here describe whole dried beans in their raw, uncooked form, rather than cooked or canned beans. Per 100g, they provide 44g of carbohydrate, 22g of protein, 1.4g of fat and 130µg of folate. Carbohydrate and protein are their main energy-providing nutrients.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while folate is needed for normal red blood cell formation. Raw kidney beans contain a naturally occurring toxin and must be soaked and thoroughly cooked before eating. Cooking increases their water content, so these dried-weight figures do not represent the same weight of cooked beans. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (Whole beans. Analytical and literature sources). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
