Red Kidney Beans
The Camellia Brand signature bean – creamy, hearty, and beloved in New Orleans and across America’s Gulf Coast. It’s an old New Orleans tradition to cook up Red Beans and Rice every Monday, which was historically the laundry day. Simmer or slow-cook them to creamy perfection with the holy trinity of vegetables and add ham hocks and other seasoning meats if you like. Plate them as is or with smoked sausage, fried chicken, or a pan-fried pork chop on the side. Like all of our beans, Camellia’s Red Kidneys are non-GMO, gluten-free, and meet the “Hayward Standard” – the name our growers gave our bean quality standard – which exceeds the top USDA requirements. Try some today – we think you’ll taste the difference.

What Are Red Kidney Beans?
In New Orleans and South Louisiana we love the red bean so much we feel that we own it – but it’s found in cuisines worldwide. Rajma masala is a spicy Indian red bean stew served with rice, and red bean ice cream is a popular Asian dessert. Red kidney beans originated in Peru and are part of a larger group called “common beans,” which were cultivated as early as 8,000 years ago.
