Adzuki Beans (Vigna angularis), often known as "azuki" or "aduki," are widely farmed throughout eastern Asia and the Himalayas. They have a pleasantly sweet flavor and are frequently sweetened and converted into a bean paste, which is commonly seen in Chinese and Japanese delicacies, or cooked into a hot, tea-like beverage. They're a favorite dish for celebrations. They are highly recognized in the macrobiotic diet as a food that supports enhanced kidney and adrenal function in Western civilizations. They're frequently served with rice as a complete protein.

Adzuki Beans belong to the legume family of plants, which are grown for their edible seeds and pods. They have a high nutrient density and require little upkeep to grow and store. They're high in fiber and protein, as well as important minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.
