 * I reverted the copyvio addition. I actually think this page (along with navy bean and pinto bean) should be a redirect to Common bean which should discuss all the common varieties. -- WormRunner | Talk 17:54, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

differences in nutritional content
What are the differences in nutritional content between the different varieties of kidney bean ? Also, Is there a difference in nutrients between cooked and uncooked kidney beans? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leningrad (talk • contribs) 17:17, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Red beans used in red beans & rice are not kidney beans
Who wrote this? Kidney beans and red beans are different. Red beans and rice is traditionally made with red bean, not kidney beans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.38.226 (talk) 02:27, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

OK to use cooked values?
The nutritional info box shows values for uncooked beans, but since the usual way to eat them (which is how nutrition affects people) is to eat them cooked.

It's a non-controversial change (in my eyes) but it will take a few minutes work and I had bad experiences recently with long-time editors instant reverting anything by newbies, so I thought I'd clear it here first. Great floors (talk) 15:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

And,indeed, the uncooked beans are poisonous! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.215.113.238 (talk) 13:46, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Etymology of 'cannellini'
It would be interesting (and an improvement to the article) if some knowledgeable person could explain the origin of 'cannellini' (as applied to these beans). Nick Michael (talk) 12:39, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Bad Bug Book update
I have removed a reference to the first version of FDA's "Bad Bug Book" along with the "five fold" potentiation claim. I made a few google searches to find a source for any potentiation, but the best I could find was this unsourced SE post. Given that the FDA has removed the claim, I think it makes sense for us to remove it if we cannot source it. - trysten (talk) 10:33, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
