365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Dark Red Kidney Beans, 15.5 Ounce

365 organic kidney beans by Whold Foods are delicious and are low sodium. I make 3 bean salad frequently. It's healthy, full of fiber and protein, deliciouis, and easily made.. The only negative is that the Amazon factory that packs my order does a very poor job. Several cans of beans I had ordered before came dented and damaged. . They were piacked in with carton's of 365 organic oatmeal, and when the carton was not handled appropriately, it caused the lids and safety seals on the oatmeal cartons to come off and oatmeal was spilled everywhere. I've tried repeatedly to draw Amazon's attention to this issue, but it doesn't change, I'm trying it one more time.

While grocery shopping recently, I forgot to pick up one of the key ingredients (kidney beans) to a rudimentary salad that has been a family favorite for decades. Since driving back to the grocery store for a single can of beans seemed a bit impractical, I summoned up my Amazon Prime account on my desktop and went looking for the brand name kidney beans I usually purchase. Fortunately for me, the nationally known brand I usually buy wasn't available, so I decided to try the Whole Foods 365 Organic Dark Red Kidney Beans. I remembered that the Whole Foods chain of grocery stores had been purchased by Amazon a few years ago and had been restructured as an Amazon distributor and seller of Whole Foods products rather than a chain of grocery stores, and recently I had been seeing more ads on television and at the Amazon.com site for 365 organic food products. Honestly, though, I wasn't very enthusiastic about buying an untested element for a basic 4-ingredient recipe plus seasoning, but since taking the plunge and giving Amazon's Whole Foods product a chance, I'm happy I did. The 365 Organic alternative to the brand of beans I have included in the salad recipe for as long as I can recall was an excellent replacement. I am no authority by any stretch of the imagination on healthy organic foods versus standard grocery fare, but I can say that the 365 organic brand of kidney bean was every bit as crunchy and full of flavor as the beans I normally purchase, and I reap the benefits of organic eating on top of it, along with paying less than half of what I usually spend on a can of non-organic beans. And I am not alone in my assessment. Everyone at our table the evening I introduced the new 365 Whole Foods addition to the salad agreed that the dish was just as enjoyable and fulfilling as its predecessors. Additionally, I am relieved that I can now rely on my Prime account to furnish reliable food products to my menus. For those interested, a four-serving salad includes a can of quality tuna (my family prefers the vegetable oil alternative although the water-based variety probably works just as well), fresh and crisp Romaine or Iceberg lettuce (Arugula also works for the more adventurous salad tosser), a basic, homemade vinegar and oil dressing with a little water added as a balancing act, Celtic Sea Salt and 4 or 5-Blend Ground Peppercorn to taste, and a can of quality Dark Red Kidney Beans. Simply drain the tuna and beans then toss all of the dry ingredients together, distribute the makings in individual salad bowls or on small plates, then give each serving a hearty splash of well-shaken dressing topped with salt and pepper. This salad provides an excellent compliment to chicken or seafood entrees or, more frequently in our home, as a light, spring or summer stand-alone dinner, fortified with a combination of garlic toast, breadsticks, and crackers. And because this is such a light meal, back it up with a dessert of Bavarian Chocolate Cake with a couple of scoops of Homemade-style Vanilla Ice Cream. Note: If you want to try it out, all of this salad's ingredients are available from Amazon Prime/Amazon.com.

I’m very impressed with the 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Dark Red Kidney Beans! The 15.5-ounce can is perfect for adding a nutritious, organic touch to a variety of dishes. The kidney beans are well-cooked and have a great texture—firm yet tender, making them ideal for soups, stews, chili, and salads. Their rich, earthy flavor enhances any recipe, and they hold their shape beautifully, adding both taste and substance to your meals. The organic certification is a major plus, ensuring that these beans are grown without synthetic pesticides or GMOs. The canning process maintains their freshness and quality, and the beans come in a good amount of liquid, which is useful for adjusting the consistency of your dishes. For a reliable, high-quality option for dark red kidney beans, this product is excellent. It’s become a staple in my pantry for its versatility and superior quality. Highly recommend!

Great for chili! Good price and quality.

Good beans to put in a pot of chili. I rinse all beans for chili first. I put 3 different types of beans in the chili. Ground turkey works just as good as ground beef. Add your spices and serve with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives. Great taste & price for a pack of 4. Would buy again.

Very good taste at a reasonable price

I like these but I buy bigger cans as I make chili and other dishes that use more beans.

Great taste, organic, healthy, and Dark Red Kidney Beans have a ton of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
