Product Overview
Egyptian white kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from the Nile Delta are recognized for their large caliber, bright white color, and excellent cooking characteristics. The Delta's temperate climate and nutrient-rich soils produce kidney beans with uniform size distribution, high protein content, and the creamy texture after cooking that food canners and retail packers require for premium product lines.
HS Herbs supplies white kidney beans in multiple calibers (180–200, 200–220, 220+ count per 100g), cleaned through aspiration, gravity separation, de-stoning, and optical color sorting to achieve bright, uniform appearance. Each lot is tested for protein, moisture, hydration coefficient, cooking time, and complete microbiology.
Applications include canned bean production (baked beans, bean salads), dried bean retail packing, soup and chili formulations, frozen vegetable blends, and health food products. HS Herbs exports to food canners, packers, and distributors across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
