What This Line Is
Canned red kidney beans packed as kernels in water, in tin formats from 340G through to 2840G. The pack list covers retail and catering needs from the same production run, so an importer does not need to order from separate suppliers. Canned at our plant in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, on the same site and under the same inspection regime as our mushroom and fruit lines.
Key Benefits
- Kernels in water leave the seasoning decision with the kitchen or the recipe
- Retail tins at 340G and 425G sit on a standard shelf without a bespoke can
- Catering tins at 2500G and 2840G suit a batch rather than a portion
- Ships with our mushroom and vegetable lines in one mixed container
- Every tin passes double X-ray scanning before it is packed
- Buyer label and outer carton artwork applied on private-label runs
Problems It Solves
- Buying pulses from one factory and vegetables from another for one shelf
- Retail and catering formats arriving on different sailings from different suppliers
- Foreign matter risk on an own-brand product the retailer has to stand behind
- Opening volumes too small to justify a full container of a single line
- No control over seasoning when the tin arrives already flavoured
Who It Is For
- Supermarket buyers running a private-label pulse and bean range
- Foodservice distributors serving canteens, hotels and central kitchens
- Manufacturers of dips, salads and ready meals buying pulses in bulk
- Importers and wholesalers stocking a full canned vegetable aisle
Application Scenarios
- A supermarket bean range carrying red kidney beans alongside chickpeas in 425G tins
- Hummus and dip manufacturers drawing from 2840G catering tins
- Central kitchens building stews and salads from bulk pulse formats
- Foodservice distributors supplying canteens with an ambient pulse line
- Importers filling a canned vegetable aisle from a single supplier

Use and Storage Guide

Compared With the Alternatives
Honest trade-offs rather than a list of reasons to buy.
| Dried red kidney beans | No soaking or cooking step and a consistent drained weight per tin, against a higher freight cost per kilo of solids |
|---|---|
| Canned white kidney beans | Red kidney beans hold a firmer bite and a deeper colour while white kidney beans are more neutral in taste |
| Frozen pulses | Ships and stores at ambient temperature with no cold chain, which suits kitchens with no spare freezer space |
| Red kidney beans already seasoned in the can | Water packing leaves the seasoning to your own recipe, at the cost of one extra step in the kitchen |
Canned Red Kidney Beans Questions
Which tin sizes do you run on red kidney beans?
Four formats: 340G and 425G packed 24 tins to a carton for retail, and 2500G and 2840G packed 6 tins to a carton for catering and manufacturing.
Are the red kidney beans packed in brine or plain water?
They are packed in water. If your market expects a different packing medium, tell us with your enquiry and we will confirm what can be run.
Can red kidney beans ship together with other canned lines?
Yes. Pulses, vegetables, mushrooms and fruit are produced on one site and are routinely loaded into a single container.
Do you produce red kidney beans under a buyer's own brand?
Yes. Our OEM work runs from the product itself through to the printed outer carton, made strictly to your requirements.
What is the minimum quantity for a first order?
Quotes are built on a 1 x 20 foot FCL basis. For a new listing we can consolidate an LCL shipment so you are not holding a full container of stock.
Can we inspect the goods before they are shipped?
Yes. We work with any inspection company you appoint, after production and before the container is loaded.
