About Kacang merah

Kacang Merah, or red kidney beans, are nutritionally dense legumes originating from Central and South America but widely used in Asian, African, and Western cuisines. Rich in protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, they are a fantastic plant-based protein source, particularly for vegans and vegetarians. These beans are packed with essential nutrients like iron, potassium, magnesium, and folate, which support heart health, energy production, and overall well-being. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, kacang merah contributes to healthy digestion, balanced blood sugar levels, and weight management when consumed as part of a balanced diet. However, raw or undercooked kidney beans contain toxins like phytohemagglutinin, which can be harmful, so they must be thoroughly cooked before eating. Popular in stews, soups, and desserts like bubur kacang merah, they are not only healthy but versatile in global culinary traditions.
