How much fiber in kidney beans?

I'm trying to add more plant-based protein and fiber to my diet. Can anyone tell me roughly how much fiber is in kidney beans?

Oh, kidney beans are awesome for fiber! I just started including them in my diet and my digestion has improved so much. A cup of cooked rajma has like 11-12 grams of fiber. So good for you!

Kidney beans, or rajma, are a fiber powerhouse! One cup cooked usually has around 13-14 grams of fiber. Great for making you feel full and helping with digestion. Make sure to soak them well before cooking to avoid gas.

I often make rajma chawal and it's always very filling. I heard it's super good for fiber. My nutritionist told me to add more beans to my diet for gut health, and kidney beans are my favourite. So helpful for digestion.

Kidney beans are a good, affordable source of fiber. A bowl of rajma curry with roti or rice gives you a decent amount. It's a simple way to add fiber without spending much. Just remember to cook them properly, takes time but worth it.

Kidney beans? Oh, the things we eat for health! They're full of fiber, a good 10-12g per cup cooked. That's why they keep you full for so long... and sometimes a bit gassy, but what to do, health comes first, haan?

Don't worry too much about exact numbers, but kidney beans are really high in fiber! I remember checking once when I started focusing on my diet and was surprised. Just include them regularly, they're super healthy and filling. A simple rajma curry is perfect.
