Tender Queen Red Beans

These are THE MOST DELICIOUS red beans you will ever meet. They are the creamiest, biggest variety of a red kidney bean out there. Their deeply savoury and meatiness make them the key component for a red wine ragu or scattered in a roasted kale + feta salad where their burgundy colour can be appreciated in its full glory. Even better still, try them straight from the jar.
