Are red beans kidney beans?
I was buying ingredients for a new recipe, and it called for 'red beans.' I always thought rajma were kidney beans, but then I saw 'red beans' as a separate label. Are they basically the same thing?

Yes, they are the same thing. I eat them boiled post-workout for protein. Along with eating these, make sure you get in a 30-minute brisk walk daily, as long as your doctor says it's okay for you.

Yes they are! Don't let the fancy English names confuse you, it is just our good old rajma playing a double role in the grocery store aisle. Eat it without any confusion!

Yes, my dear. Red beans and kidney beans are the same, known as rajma in India. They are highly nutritious, but always soak them for 8-10 hours before cooking to make them easy on your stomach.

They are the exact same thing. Rajma is just the Hindi term for red kidney beans. You can find them at any local store, no need to overcomplicate it.

Yes, they are. I remember getting so stressed and confused about these diet terms when I was first trying to change my lifestyle. It is completely okay to feel overwhelmed, but yes, they are indeed the same.
