Adzuki Beans

Azuki Beans are small burgundy-colored beans with a distinct white stripe, originating from Japan. While commonly used in sweet dessert recipes, they are also highly regarded in health food circles for their ease of digestion compared to other beans. With a light and nutty flavor, Azuki beans are less "beany" tasting, making them a versatile ingredient for both savory and sweet dishes. Enjoy them as a casserole, sprout, or add them to vegetable soups.
