- The red beans you choose should be medium-sized, round and uniform, without any pest damage, and have a dark red color.
- It is best to choose beans that are slightly larger than green beans; such beans will be creamier, softer, and tastier.
- Do not choose beans that are too large, as they usually contain fewer nutrients than smaller beans and can produce a slightly bitter taste when cooked.
