The kidney bean is a variety of the common bean. It resembles a human kidney and thus is named after such. Red kidney beans should not be confused with other red beans, such as adzuki beans

 

Kidney bean or rajma is a must-have legume that is widely used in various traditional dishes in India and abroad. It takes its name from appearance and resemblance to colour of kidneys. These nourishing legumes are procured from the herbaceous plant, scientifically termed Phaseolus vulgaris.

 

Some evidence proves that soluble fibre in rajma lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and ups the good cholesterol (HDL) by forming a gel-like substance in the stomach and prevents the reabsorption of cholesterol into the body. In addition, rajma is a good source of potassium which dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
