Product Information

Named for and probably grown by the Hidatsa tribe who raised corn, squash, beans, and sunflowers in the Missouri River Valley of North Dakota. They’re a climbing variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, the same incredibly diverse family of beans from the Americas that includes borlotti, cannellini and haricots. Eating kidney beans may also help reduce risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure.

A humble but tasty vegan meal made of fava beans and served for late breakfast, lunch or even dinner. Navy beans appear to help reduce symptoms of metabolic syndrome, likely due to their high fiber content. Cadmium is found in soil.
