Red kidney beans rank second-highest in antioxidants among all beans. Being a major source of protein, kidney beans provide all the eight basic forms of amino acids. These amino acids act against a number of diseases and are important to maintain a healthy immune system. They also provide nearly 60% of daily folate needs, helping to maintain heart health and guard against colorectal cancer. The soluble fiber present in the kidney bean regulates the blood glucose absorption from the body. The dietary fiber in these beans also helps lower the blood cholesterol levels in the body.
