Rajmah, or kidney beans, offer more protein than any other plant source, making them an affordable protein option for many people. Their low moisture content and hard seed coat allow them to be stored for long periods. Adding rajmah to your diet can support a healthier lifestyle.
Though rajmah protein is low in sulfur-containing amino acids, it is high in lysine, which many cereals lack. Therefore, combining rajmah with cereals provides a nutritional value comparable to that of animal proteins.
