In reality the foam is not bad, but is merely the water from boiling too much. Normally you don't want the water to reach that point. You want to keep it boiling at a constant rate. Never do this when it's fully boiling, but all you have to do is mix it lightly so that it can dissolve because you are not even supposed to mix it while the beans are cooking which is the reason why it shouldn't go to the extent that foam is created. In short, the foam is just a chemical reaction that will not do any harm.

Cooked kidney beans will keep fresh in a covered container in the refrigerator for about three days.
