Cinnamon Beans Cinnamon Beans, or Cinnamon Kidney Beans, are medium-sized, elongated and rounded beans, very characteristic for their cinnamon color. They are legumes considered gourmet for their flavor and texture qualities. They are one of the most used in all kinds of dishes for their uniformity in size, quick cooking time, barely noticeable skin, and delicate flavor. Once cooked, Cinnamon Beans form a very creamy and delicate broth, with intact grains, smooth and not too tough skin.
