Kidney Beans

Kidney Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), called Rajma in India and traded internationally in both dark red and white (cannellini) varieties, are one of the most nutritionally dense legumes in global food trade — carrying approximately 24% protein on a dry-weight basis alongside dietary fibre, complex carbohydrates, iron, and potassium. Though the species originated in Peru, kidney beans are now cultivated across major Indian growing regions including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka, harvested in winter months between November and February. Indian kidney beans compete favourably against Myanmar, Kenya, and Tanzania on the strength of FSSAI-compliant processing, consistent sortex-cleaned quality, and competitive FOB pricing from Nhava Sheva and Mundra.

Two principal varieties serve different market segments. Dark Red Kidney Beans (deep maroon, 18-22 mm diameter, standard; 22-25 mm, large) are the benchmark for Indian Rajma dal, chili con carne, and mixed bean salads, delivering a meaty texture and earthy flavour that holds its shape through long cooking cycles. White Kidney Beans (cannellini) offer a creamier texture and milder flavour profile preferred in Italian cuisine (minestrone, ribollita) and North American canned bean applications. Both varieties are sortex-cleaned to 99%+ purity, moisture-conditioned below 12% for a 12-24 month shelf life, and tested for damaged kernels below 0.5% using ISTA defect standards. Every export lot is verified for pesticide residues against EU MRL limits, aflatoxin, and Salmonella through FSSAI and APEDA-accredited laboratory protocols.

B2B buyers include canned bean manufacturers in the USA, UK, Germany, and Australia who require consistent colour-graded, low-broken kidney beans for commercial canning lines; South Asian diaspora grocery importers and branded food companies needing private-label Rajma packs for UK, Canada, and UAE supermarkets; ready-meal producers incorporating kidney beans into Indian, Mexican, and Mediterranean meal kits; and institutional catering suppliers serving university campuses, hospital systems, and food service chains across the Gulf. Packaging options include 25-50 kg PP or jute bags and vacuum-sealed packs for extended shelf life, with shipments under FOB, CIF, or CFR terms and lead times of 7-15 days from PO confirmation.
