Adzuki beans (Vigna angularis), sometimes called English red mung beans, are small beans that grow perennially on vines. They are a member of the legume family and come in a range of colors. Our adzuki powder is made from red adzuki beans, which are the most common kind. They have a nutty, mildly sweet flavor.

Red adzuki beans are rich in phenolic compounds, and a good source of protein, dietary fiber and polysaccharides. Sprouting adzuki beans activate enzymes, improves amino acid content, reduces anti-nutrients and cause a decrease of bioavailable starch and an increase in resistant starch.*
