Get to know the Kidney Bean! Packed with protein, these hearty legumes are a perfect meat replacement. But that is not all they "bring to the table" :
Folate for brain power!
Iron for extreme energy!
Fiber for a full and happy tummy!
Kidney Beans originated in Peru and were introduced to Europe in the 15th century by Spanish explorers. Today, they are most commonly produced in India, China, the US and Brazil.
We recommend swapping kidney bean in place of ground beef for a heart healthy chili or try out our delicious Kidney Bean Slider Recipe.

Eating meatless 1 day per week will help reduce your carbon footprint!
The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of the man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are accelerating climate change worldwide . . . far more than transportation. And annual worldwide demand for meat continues to grow. Reining in meat consumption once a week can help slow this trend.
