What are organic adzuki beans?

Adzuki beans are small reddish-brown beans with a distinctive white stripe on their skin. They are slightly smaller than kidney beans and are immediately noticeable for their naturally sweet, nutty flavor, making them unique among legumes: suitable for both savory and sweet dishes.

They have been eaten in Japan and China for centuries, traditionally processed into red bean paste for desserts like mochi and dorayaki. In Western cuisine, they are becoming increasingly popular in curries, salads, bowls, and stews.

Unlike canned beans, they contain no salt or preservatives. You prepare them exactly as you like.

Why organic? Grown without pesticides, richer in flavor, and better for the soil. That's why we offer organic products.

What do you use them for?

Adzuki beans are more versatile than most other beans. They are excellent in savory dishes such as curries, stir-fries, soups, and salads. But they are also a classic in sweet applications like red bean paste, brownie mix, or as a base for mochi.

They are also suitable for sprouting. Within three to four days, you'll get crisp, protein-rich sprouts that you can use raw in salads or on bread.

Preparation

For the best results, it is recommended to soak the adzuki beans beforehand. Ideally, start the evening before.

• Rinse beans thoroughly with cold water
• Place in a large pot and add four times the amount of water
• Soak for at least eight hours at room temperature
• Drain soaking water and use fresh water for cooking
• Cook beans until tender over low heat for thirty-five to forty-five minutes
• Add salt only at the end

Tip: Want to make red bean paste? Cook them a bit longer until they are completely soft, then purée them with a little sugar and a pinch of salt.

Sprouting

Adzuki beans are also excellent for sprouting.

• Soak overnight in plenty of water
• Drain and place in a sprouting jar or colander
• Rinse twice daily with cold water
• After three to four days, the sprouts are ready to eat

The sprouts taste delicious raw in salads, on bread, or as a topping on a bowl.
