Harvesting

The organic nature of Organic Kidney Beans means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Kidney Beans in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Kidney Beans

Organic kidney beans have a history dating back thousands of years, originating in Peru and spreading throughout South and Central America. These nutrient-dense legumes were a staple in the diets of ancient civilisations, including the Incas and Aztecs, and were later introduced to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 15th century. The cultivation of organic kidney beans has since spread worldwide, with their popularity soaring due to their health benefits and versatility in various cuisines. Today, these beans are celebrated for their sustainable farming practices and are a symbol of wholesome, natural nutrition.
