A common bean used in Japanese and Chinese dishes and are often used as a staple in macrobiotic diets. High in protein. They can also be sprouted for fresh sprouts. Adzuki beans are a good source of B vitamins, potassium, zinc, copper, iron and magnesium.

Adzuki beans have a light, nutty flavor and is less "bean" taste then than most legumes. Adzuki beans are easier to digest than most other type of beans. Some of their benefits: weight loss, help to prevent and manage diabetes, improve digestion, increase your energy levels and lower blood pressure. They can also help detoxify the body.

Ingredients: Natural Adzuki Beans.

Directions: For overnight soaking, cover each cup of beans with 3 cups water and let stand overnight or 12 hours. For quicker results, add dry beans to boiling water boiling 2 minutes and let stand for 1 hour. We also recommend pressure cookers, like the Instant Pot which permits you to cook beans in under one hour.

** We prepare our beans (and grains and everything else that needs cooking) using an "Instant Pot" (electric pressure cooker), which drastically reduces preparation time for any type of food, including beans, grains, meat or vegetables. They are incredibly convienent and quick to use. Simply add in the chosen ingredients and set the electronic timer, the Instant Pot does the rest and will automatically depressurize, keeping the food warm for hours. For us, this wonderful device is used near-daily for our breakfast, lunch and dinner foods we eat. These modern pressure cookers will also dramatically tenderize and flavor the food (with seasoning) and can significantly increase the different type and variety of meals anyone can prepare at home.
