Black Red White Kidney Beans

Black Red White Kidney Beans

　　Black Red White Kidney Beans are grown in the cool Yi-inhabited region of Fatu Liangzi at an altitude of 2,200 to 2,700 meters. Cultivated in mountainous areas dense with forests, these beans are grown without pesticides but with abundant organic fertilizer, making them a purely natural green food. Moreover, due to the cool climate, the beans have a long growth period. The beans contain over 20% protein, 1.5% fat, 63% carbohydrates, as well as rich amounts of iron, calcium, and vitamins B1 and B2. They can be cooked whether dried or fresh, making them an ideal ingredient for bean pastes and fillings in baked goods. They also offer good benefits for the stomach and kidney, serving as an excellent health supplement for those with weak liver or spleen.

With strong support from the town’s Party committee and government, Black Red white kidney bean production has developed rapidly in recent years. In 1998, 200 mu were planted, increasing to 3,000 mu in 1999, 5,000 mu in 2000, 8,000 mu in 2001, and 10,000 mu in 2002, with a yield of over 800 tons. Currently, the town’s Party committee and government have formulated a practical medium- and long-term development plan for white kidney beans. By increasing investment, they aim to significantly enhance the technological level and scale of Black Red white kidney beans, while continuously improving processing, storage, and sales. Their goal is to form a scaled and industrialized production. Black Red has become the largest white kidney bean production base in northeastern Yunnan.
