SHILOH FARMS Adzuki Beans are small, dark red beans with a distinctive white ridge along one side. They have a nutty, sweet flavor, making them a versatile addition to both sweet and savory dishes. A rich source of protein, fiber, and minerals, adzuki beans are particularly high in iron, magnesium, and folic acid.
Native to East Asia and the Himalayas, adzuki beans are thought to have been first cultivated over 6,000 years ago! They are still widely grown throughout the region, where they are a staple of local cuisines and frequently used in cakes, sweet buns, and desserts.
To Cook: Sort* and rinse. Add 1 part beans to 2 parts water and soak overnight. Drain well, then cover beans with fresh water or stock (again at 1:2 ratio). Bring to a boil, reduce, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until soft.
Suggestions:
1. Adzuki beans are usually cooked to a soft consistency, sweetened, and then turned into a paste that can be used as a filling for pastries and desserts.
2. Commonly cooked with rice, their bright red color tinting the rice an attractive pink.
3. Try combining them with amaranth, millet, or quinoa.
4. Grind into a flour to be added to breads, cookies, and other baked goods.
5. Tossed into green salads or add to marinated bean salads.
6. Use them in soups and stews.
7. Balance their natural sweetness with soy sauce, ginger, or miso.

I am very happy with this product. I just made sweet adzuki bean paste and I am very satisfied. Sweet Adzuki paste is one of the main ingredients of Japanese traditional confectionery. I also cook them in brown rice for every day meal. So I use a lot of adzuki. I used to buy organic adzuki in Japan and bring them here to the states. Now I know I can buy it here anytime! They say that Adzuki has great health benefits as one of the most anti-oxidant-rich foods. I would like to try soaking and sprouting too. I highly recommend Shiloh Farm Adzuki Beans.

These beans are gorgeous and sprouted beautifully. Once sprouted (approximately five days), the bean skins came off easily as well and provided a nutritious addition to my bird chop mix.
