Nutritional Profile for Clean-Label Formulation
As a leading supplier of USA-grown pulses, our bulk small red beans provide the exact nutritional metrics required for modern clean-label food manufacturing. They are an ideal foundation for health-focused consumer packaged goods (CPG) and export retail brands.
High-Density Plant Protein: 23.58 g of protein per 100 g dry basis — approximately 15 g per cooked cup (177 g) — an excellent base for plant-based formulations, meat alternatives, and institutional protein requirements.
Clean-Label Color Retention: Naturally rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins, they provide excellent deep red/burgundy color retention for retail packaged goods without the need for artificial dyes.
Functional Dietary Fiber: 24.9 g of dietary fiber per 100 g dry basis — approximately 11 g per cooked cup — providing the necessary structural formulation for gut-friendly, functional food lines.
Dry-basis values per USDA Nutrient Database 16027 (kidney beans, all types, mature seeds, raw — the USDA class record used for small red beans), matching the specification table below. Cooked-cup values per USDA Nutrient Database 16028 (cooked, boiled, without salt), 1 cup = 177 g.
