Small Red Beans (Sold In Bulk)

Small red beans, also known as adzuki beans, are small, reddish-brown legumes that are commonly used in East Asian and other Asian cuisines. They have a slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture when cooked, making them ideal for both savory and sweet dishes. Adzuki beans are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins (like folate), and minerals such as iron and magnesium, which makes them a nutritious addition to meals.

Adzuki beans are commonly used in soups, stews, and curries, but they are especially popular in sweet dishes like red bean paste (an essential ingredient in many Asian desserts, such as mochi, pastries, and sweet buns). They're also a great source of plant-based protein, making them a fantastic meat substitute in vegan and vegetarian meals.

To prepare small red beans, you’ll typically need to soak them before cooking to reduce cooking time. After soaking, they can be boiled, mashed, or used in various recipes.
