IQF Red Kidney Beans Information and Supply

Uren can supply individually quick frozen (IQF) red kidney beans packaged and delivered either directly or into a cold store for service deliveries. As leading UK suppliers of IQF vegetables we can source and provide red kidney beans in quantities to suit food manufacturing and foodservice needs.

Native to the Americas, cultivated by the Aztecs and named for their shape, red kidney beans are a delicious and nutritious addition to a variety of dishes. A staple of Central and South America and the Caribbean, it is one of the best-known beans as used in ‘Chilli-con-Carne’ and other Mexican dishes.

Kidney beans are an excellent plant-based source of protein. They’re also rich in various minerals, vitamins, fibre, antioxidants, and other unique plant compounds. Therefore, these beans may aid weight loss, promote colon health, and moderate blood sugar levels. IQF red kidney beans have the same nutrition profile, taste, texture and colour of fresh red kidney beans, with the convenience and longer shelf life of a frozen product.

Process:

The red kidney beans are sourced from our expert, accredited growers and can be traced back to field. The beans are harvested in late summer, once they reach a deep red colour and the plants are dried out. They are then taken to the factory to be washed and thoroughly inspected for defects. The red kidney beans are then rapidly frozen at very low temperatures to ensure maximum freshness and a free-flowing product.

Shelf life: 24 months from production

Packaged in 12kg cartons

Minimum order quantity: 1 pallet
