Kidney beans (canned drained)

Kidney beans are large, kidney-shaped legumes with a deep red skin and a firm, creamy texture once cooked. They are widely used in chili, stews, and salads, and dried beans must be boiled vigorously for at least ten minutes to break down naturally occurring toxins before finishing cooking. Canned kidney beans are pre-cooked and ready to use after rinsing.

Once drained of its canning liquid, this ingredient weighs less per cup than it does undrained, though usually more than the dried, unsoaked form.
