Rainbow Organic Aduki Beans

Aduki beans (also known as adzuki, azuki or aduki beans) are an East-Asian crop that have been enthusiastically grown by the Japanese, becoming one of the most popular pulses in Japan. They look a little like kidney beans and the taste is quite similar, though perhaps a little more "chestnutty". In fact, the Japanese and Chinese tend to make lots of desserts out of aduki bean paste, or "red bean paste".
