Kidney Beans for Babies - First Foods for Baby

When can babies eat kidney beans?

Kidney beans may be introduced as soon as baby is ready to start solids, which is generally around 6 months of age.

Where do kidney beans come from?

Kidney bean is a type of common bean—a sprawling family of legumes that originated in the Americas. Kidney bean was cultivated in South America before colonization and trade brought beans abroad—a milestone that led to a world of bean lovers, numerous heirloom varieties, and myriad ways to cook the nutritious beans. Today, the kidney bean has many names (barbunya, feijão vermelho, frijoles colorados, rajma, and surkh lobia, to name a few) and serves as an inexpensive source of protein and fiber for people around the world.

Are kidney beans healthy for babies?

Yes. Kidney beans are packed with protein, fiber, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, and folate. Kidney beans also contain good amounts of two other nutrients commonly deficient in babies, iron and zinc, which support healthy blood, development, and growth.1 The bean’s red skin is also packed with antioxidants to support the body’s resilience.

★Tip: Vitamin C helps our bodies absorb iron from plant sources, so serve kidney beans with foods that are high in vitamin C, such as asparagus, bell pepper, cauliflower, or peas.

Can babies have canned kidney beans?

Yes. Just look for kidney beans in cans marked “no salt added” or “low sodium,” as some canned products are high in sodium. Opt for cans marked “BPA-free,” when available. Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the interior of some food containers, and studies have shown that frequent exposure can affect baby’s neurological development.2 3

★Tip: Draining and rinsing canned beans can significantly reduce their sodium content. 4

Are kidney beans safe for babies?

Yes, as long as the beans are cooked thoroughly (canned beans have already been cooked, so they don’t need to be cooked again). Undercooked beans can contain toxic compounds, such as phytohemagglutinin, that can lead to gastrointestinal upset and serious illness.5 Kidney beans in particular contain high amounts of this toxin.6 Boiling the bean for a minimum of 10 minutes has been found to destroy these compounds, though it is recommended to boil for at least 30 minutes to make sure.7 Slow cookers (such as Crock Pots) are not recommended as a method for cooking beans, since they often do not adequately get hot enough to break down the toxin.8

Other plant compounds nicknamed “antinutrients” such as lectins, oxalates, and phytates are also present in kidney beans.9 10 These compounds have gained the nickname “anti-nutrients” because they can decrease absorption of other specific nutrients, however they also break down during the process of soaking and cooking on high heat and are generally harmless in healthy people when consumed as part of a varied and balanced diet, so just make sure that kidney beans are fully cooked until tender before serving. 11 12

Are kidney beans a common choking hazard for babies?

Potentially, yes. Kidney beans are not a common choking hazard, but their small size and rounded shape can pose a risk, especially if not cooked thoroughly. To reduce the risk, make sure kidney beans are fully cooked and soft. If you’d like to reduce the risk further, you can press each bean between your fingers to flatten it, or mash the beans into a paste. As always, make sure you create a safe eating environment and stay within an arm’s reach of baby during meals. For more information on choking, visit our sections on gagging and choking and familiarize yourself with the list of common choking hazards.

Are kidney beans a common allergen?

No. Kidney beans are not considered to be a common allergen. However, cases of allergic reactions to red kidney bean have been reported, some of which have been severe.13 Phytohemagglutinin, a lectin protein, can trigger both toxic and allergic reactions to red kidney bean. Adequately cooking the beans can help to break down the protein and reduce the risk of reactivity.14

Bean allergies have been reported in some patients with allergies to other legumes, including peanut and soybean (which are common food allergens). However, being allergic to one type of legume does not necessarily mean that an individual will be allergic to others, although the risk of more than one legume allergy can increase.15 Fortunately, most individuals with peanut or soy allergy – more common legume allergies – are able to tolerate other legumes.16

Individuals with allergies to tree pollen and/or Oral Allergy Syndrome (also called pollen-food allergy syndrome) may be sensitive to legumes, such as kidney beans.17 18 Oral Allergy Syndrome typically results in short-lived itching, tingling, or burning in the mouth and is unlikely to result in a dangerous reaction.

As you would when introducing any new food, start by offering a small quantity for the first few servings. If there is no adverse reaction, gradually increase the quantity over future meals.

Do kidney beans need to be soaked before cooking?

No, although soaking dried kidney beans before cooking can help significantly reduce cooking time, as well as reduce the content of lectins and a gas-producing carbohydrate, raffinose, therefore making the bean easier to digest.19 20

Here are a couple of soaking methods:

  • Overnight soak: Use a ratio of 1 lb (454 g) of dried beans and 10 c (2 ½ liter) water, and soak the beans in water for 4 or more hours or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans prior to cooking.
  • Hot soak method: Use a ratio of 1 lb (454 g) of dried beans and 10 c (2 ½ liter) water, and bring the mixture to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then soak for a few hours. Drain and rinse the beans prior to cooking.

Can kidney beans help babies poop?

Yes. Beans are well-known for their ability to produce gas and poop. That’s because the high amounts of fibers and resistant starches interact with certain bacteria in the gut, resulting in gas, helping move poop, and contributing to a diverse ecosystem in the digestive tract.21 While gas is normal and expected, excess gas can be uncomfortable for baby. To minimize digestive discomfort, introduce high-fiber foods like kidney beans gradually and regularly in baby’s diet as tolerated.22 Remember that pooping patterns can vary significantly from baby to baby. If you have concerns about your baby’s pooping and digestive function, talk to your pediatric healthcare provider.

How do you prepare kidney beans with baby-led weaning?

Every baby develops on their own timeline, and the suggestions on how to cut or prepare particular foods are generalizations for a broad audience. Your child is an individual and may have needs or considerations beyond generally accepted practices. In determining the recommendations for size and shape of foods, we use the best available scientific information regarding gross, fine, and oral motor development to minimize choking risk. The preparation suggestions we offer are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for child-specific, one-on-one advice from your pediatric medical or health professional or provider. It is impossible to fully eliminate all risk of a baby or child choking on any liquid, puree, or food. We advise you to follow all safety protocols we suggest to create a safe eating environment and to make educated choices for your child regarding their specific needs. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or seen here.

6 to 8 months old: Crush or blend cooked kidney beans into a textured mash or smooth paste. For added nutrition, stir in breast (human) milk, formula, olive oil, butter, or yogurt. When introducing beans, start with a small amount and gradually increase portion sizes to minimize any digestive discomfort. Let baby scoop the mash or paste, and if help is needed, pre-load a spoon or thinly spread some mash on another food. Alternatively, share kidney beans from your chili, salad, or stew. Simply pick out some of the beans and mash them for baby.

9 to 11 months old: Babies with a developing pincer grasp (where the thumb meets the pointer finger) may graduate to whole kidney beans that are fully cooked until soft and gently flattened. Alternatively, continue serving mashed or pureed kidney beans.

12 to 24 months old: By this age, toddlers are typically able to handle whole kidney beans that are fully cooked until soft. To encourage self-feeding with utensils, spear a kidney bean with an age-appropriate fork and lay the utensil next to the food for the child to try to pick up. If help is needed, pass the utensil in the air for the child to grab from you. If serving a whole bean makes you nervous, continue to mash or flatten the beans.

Recipe: Kidney Bean Dip

Yield: 1 c (240 ml)
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Age: 6 months+

Ingredients

  • ¾ c (180 ml) cooked kidney beans
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil 
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp (½ g) ground cumin (optional)
  • 1 teething rusk (optional)

This recipe contains a common allergen: wheat (teething rusk). Only serve to a child after this allergen has been safely introduced.

Directions

  1. Rinse the beans to remove excess sodium.
  2. Blend or mash the beans, oil, and lemon juice until the dip is mostly smooth. A little texture is okay as long as there are no whole beans.
  3. Season the dip with cumin. Feel free to use your favorite spices.

Serve the Dip

  1. Offer dip to baby, then let the child self-feed.
  2. If help is needed, swipe a spoon, a teething rusk, or a resistive food in the dip, then hold it in the air in front of baby and let the child grab it from you.
  3. Eat some dip alongside the child to model how it’s done.

To Store: Kidney Bean Dip keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.

Flavor Pairings

Kidney beans taste great with bell pepper, eggplant, pumpkin, quinoa, rice, and tomato.

When can a child start giving beans? ⋆ Delicious dinner

At what age can a child be given beans - young green beans from 7-8 months, and mature - not earlier than two years. Legumes diversify the diet of the baby and will benefit him if they are cooked correctly and not eaten too often.

Benefits and harms

What are the benefits and possible harm of beans and at what age children can legumes is determined by the uniqueness of these crops:

  • they have all the beneficial properties of plants: they contain vitamins, minerals and fiber necessary for the normal functioning of the stomach and intestines;
  • soybeans, beans, lentils, peas have a lot of protein, more only in meat;
  • beans, in addition to vitamins B, C, PP, K, contain copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, iodine, which is precious in central Russia, and other useful substances;
  • this type of legume has a weak diuretic effect, is able to remove heavy metals and radionuclides from the body;
  • Another plus is extremely rare allergic reactions.

But there is also a disadvantage, which is that this is a rather heavy food that causes increased gas formation, constipation.

When and how to feed beans

When depends on whether they are young or mature. In the first case, these are thin green pods with delicate soft grains inside; it is sold both fresh and frozen.

Mature has hard grains in yellowish-white (smaller pods) or red (larger) skins.

Green beans

The earliest age children can eat green beans is 7-8 months, like other vegetable foods. Especially for baby food, it is sold as a ready-made puree in jars, usually mixed with other vegetables, less often as a one-component baby food.

Dry (white or red)

Mature beans are too heavy for the stomach and intestines of young children. They are digested with difficulty, even well-soaked, boiled and mashed. If there are no problems with digestion, then the optimal period from which age a child can have red beans is two years, and not as a whole side dish, but as part of other dishes.

IMPORTANT!
With canned beans, wait up to a minimum of three years, whether green, white, or red.

Soups

A great way to introduce legumes is to add them to regular soups or pureed soups. Beans go well with other vegetables: cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, pumpkin.

The principle is the same: at what age a child can have bean soup depends on the maturity of the beans. Start offering green pods to your baby at 7–8 months, white or red first courses after 2 years.

How to introduce complementary foods

The product must be introduced into complementary foods gradually. Give your child a half teaspoon of one-component puree to try. If the stomach coped, they don’t suffer more than usual colic, there was no constipation or diarrhea, next time increase the amount.

How much to give

Don't get carried away. If legumes are present in the baby's diet twice a week, this is quite enough.
