The effects of some processing
methods on the nutritional values of some legumes have
been reported (Nwosu, 2010; Olaofe et al., 2010).
However, to the knowledge of the authors, no report has
been given on the effect of processing methods on the
nutritional values of the white variety of kidney bean seed
flour. This work is aimed at determining the nutrients and
anti-nutrients content of raw and processed (boiling,
roasting) kidney bean seed flour with a view to providing
information towards effective utilization of kidney beans in
various food applications, which will be used for optimal
nutrient retention, hence improved nutritional status of
consumers
