I can't say how prevalent it is in Bangladesh, but it has not yet become so popular among Bengalis in West Bengal. I see mainly non-Bengalis eating. Although many Bengalis now eat rajma, curry dal (mugkarai) and ghugani are far more popular than most.
Rajma was first introduced in foreign countries. Then gradually it started to be made in our country too. Kidney beans are widely grown in Mexico and parts of Central America. There are many types of beans - white, cream, black, red, purple, spotted, striped and mottled.
The benefits of rajma are many. This bean is a great source of vegetable protein. 100 grams of raw kidney beans contain about 24 grams of protein. It is also rich in high quality fiber and essential minerals. Not only that, Rajma is also very helpful in weight loss and cholesterol reduction.
I myself also occasionally make kidney beans for my family. Kidney beans and black beans are mixed together to increase the taste. You can make it like this or with chicken, it tastes good. I also feed my three and a half year old daughter. It has been eaten with bread, parota, bread, rice, polao all. After cooking for dinner, if there is anything left, I heat it up the next morning and make two oats bread with it, tofa becomes a snack.
Rajma is the main source of vegetable protein
Here are some benefits of Kidney Bean:
1. Protein Rich: According to the USDA, 100 grams of raw kidney beans contain about 24 grams of protein. Kidney beans with rice are popular as a complete protein food. Without soy and quinine, vegetable protein sources such as beans, nuts and whole grains are unable to provide you with the protein you need. However, when mixed with other foods, they become rich in protein. "Rajma is rich in protein and high in fiber. If you want a variety of amino acids in a single meal, a mixture of grains and nuts is good as a food," said Sheila Aurora, a macrobiotic nutritionist and health scientist.
However, you need to maintain control over how much you eat. Kidney beans contain a lot of protein fasciolin so that some people have allergies.
2. Digestive Kidney Bean is rich in soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber helps keep the digestive system healthy, reduces intestinal problems. But overuse can also cause problems such as gas or flatulence.
3. Beneficial for diabetics: Card bohydrates are a big part of the kidney bean. But these carbohydrates are not harmful at all. These carbohydrates delay digestion, resulting in a small amount of sugar in the bloodstream. Kidney Bean Low Glycemic Index (29) is the ideal food for diabetes.

4. Rich in essential minerals: According to the book 'Healing Foods' published by DK Publishing House, the iron, phosphorus that makes blood is present in the kidney bean. Vitamin K, which helps keep bones and teeth strong, also protects the nervous system.
5. Cholesterol lowering: Kidney beans are rich in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber attracts water and converts water into gel during digestion. We know that soluble fiber helps digest but many don’t know that bean also helps reduce LDL cholesterol.
6. Weight loss: Kidney beans are packed with high quality protein and fiber. This full meal reduces your tendency to overeat, resulting in weight control. It also contains resistant starch. Which plays an effective role in weight control.l
