Canned red kidney beans refer to the beans which have been canned in brine.
While selecting the canned red kidney beans, look carefully at the nutritional labelling and the expiry date. Avoid selecting the cans which are bulging or dented (may cause food poisoning) or if the cans appear to be rusted or leaking.
Red kidney beans are available in supermarkets in both dried and canned form. They should be evenly colored and shiny, with a slight red or brown color. Canned beans should be refrigerated after the can has been opened and used within 2-4 days.
