Red nutritional queen of sweet and savoury recipes!

Adzuki Beans are also known as Azuki or Aduki. These small reddish-brown beans come from the East where they are very popular, especially in China and Japan.

They are characterized by a dark red colour with a distinctive white line on the membrane and taste sweeter than most legumes.

Nutrigold adzuki beans are a rich source of protein and are most commonly used in macrobiotic cuisine today. In Asian culture, it is mostly cooked with sugar to make a sweet red paste that is used to fill a variety of savoury dishes and Asian desserts. It can also be boiled or grounded into baking flour.

Adzuki beans have an intense and sweet taste and can be combined as an addition to soups, chillies, rice dishes and salads and as a dessert with raisins and cereals. It is a great choice of legumes for cooking due to its speed, simplicity and multifunctionality. We recommend cooking it with kombu seaweed to improve digestibility.
