How long to soak kidney beans before cooking?

It can feel like a chore sometimes, all these cooking steps, and especially when you're trying to get a meal done. But for kidney beans, soaking them for 8-12 hours (overnight) is really important. It helps break down compounds that cause indigestion. It's a small step that makes a big difference in the end.

Little sister/brother, for kidney beans, always make sure to soak them properly. At least 8 hours, or ideally overnight, is what you should aim for. This makes them softer, reduces cooking time, and helps prevent any stomach discomfort. Don't worry, it's a simple step but very important for good rajma.

I used to struggle with cooking kidney beans until I learned the trick of proper soaking. Definitely soak them overnight, 8 to 12 hours is best. It really makes a difference in texture and helps prevent that gassy feeling. Always discard the soaking water before cooking too.

Beta, our grandmothers always said to soak rajma (kidney beans) for the whole night. 8 to 10 hours is very important. It makes them easier to digest and cook. Always throw away that soaking water and use fresh water for cooking. This is a very old practice for a reason.
