Jiva Organics Dark Red Kidney Beans (2 lb) are certified organic, non-GMO rajma prized for their rich, meaty texture and deep earthy flavor. Grown without synthetic pesticides, these whole beans cook up creamy and tender — ideal for the classic North Indian rajma chawal or hearty bean soups. Available at Anora's Cash N Carry in Los Angeles.

Why These Beans Stand Out

• USDA Certified Organic — no pesticides, no synthetic additives
• High in plant-based protein and dietary fiber for sustained energy
• Rich, robust flavor that holds up to long braises and thick gravies
• Convenient 2 lb resealable bag keeps beans fresh longer

How to Use

Rinse well and soak overnight (8–12 hours), then drain and pressure-cook or simmer until tender (about 30–40 minutes). Use in rajma masala, chili, minestrone, rice bowls, or mash into bean dip. Cooked beans freeze well for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these beans pre-cooked or raw? They are raw, dried beans that must be soaked and cooked before eating.

What is the difference between dark and light red kidney beans? Dark red kidney beans have a slightly firmer skin, deeper color, and more robust flavor — ideal for long-simmered dishes like rajma or chili.

Can I use them without soaking? Soaking is strongly recommended to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility. If using a pressure cooker, you can skip soaking but increase cook time by 15–20 minutes.
