I had a packet in our cupboard which I opened today. It has these beans in, and I've no idea what they are or even precisely where I bought them. Can anyone help identify these beans please, so I can therefore work out what to do with them? Thanks!!

Aduki? Or possibly pinto?
I find that most beans taste much the same so it doesn't really matter what they are! Aduki and pinto tend to have softer skins than kidney beans and a nice creamy texture inside. Perfect in chillis, or anything beany really!

They look like Swedish brown beans, which are I think from the kidney bean family. I guess you would use them in a similar way.

Thanks, I think they're more likely to be Swedish Brown Beans, but they're quite similar to Adzuki beans. Wil definitely see if we can make a stew. When I opened the packet, it was in a brown bag, and for some reason, I expected to find coffee beans inside.
