Himachal Pradesh and Jammu region is the major producer of kidney beans. But the interesting thing is that I never knew people in Nepal also love eating kidney beans. A healthy fact about kidney beans is that 100 grams of it have only 140 calories, so keep eating kidney beans and rice. I am going hungry now.
