What’s so special about red beans?

The humble adzuki bean is a small, round, brightly-colored bean variety that’s widely cultivated in East Asia. It’s fibrous, packed with protein, and also surprisingly low in fat. When cooked and mashed into a paste, it’s a staple of Asian cuisine and used in both savory and sweet dishes as a filling, topping, garnish, and seasoning.

It’s easy to make homemade, or you can buy it from the store. But wherever you get it, sweet red bean paste is a great way to inject flavor into your cooking and keep things healthful, too!

If you’re ready to try out new Asian recipes, stock up with a pouch of Red Bean Paste from Fusion Select!

A Traditional Taste

In Japan, “anko”, is the hearty, earthy filling often served with jelly and fruits, baked into cakes, enjoyed as a condiment, and even paired with coffee.

Meanwhile, in Korea, you can find it inside sweet baked pastries, rice cakes, and pancakes, on top of ice cream, or over bingsu, a refreshing, shaved ice dessert.

With a supply of this sweet paste in your kitchen, now you can try out all the different recipes from the comfort of home!

Nutritious & Delicious

Red beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein and complex carbohydrates, like dietary fiber. A serving of a hundred grams, which is about 3.5 ounces, could contain up to 30% of the recommended daily value for folate and manganese.

Red beans are also incredibly rich in antioxidants that help keep your cells in working order. So, incorporate red bean paste into this week's menu for a sweet treat that's good for your body!

A Versatile Ingredient

Red bean paste may taste sweet and delicate, but it has a distinct flavor and texture that give it the strength to stand on its own. The sweet paste also has a pleasant, nutty smell that makes it irresistible to kids!

You can stuff the paste into balls of dough, treat it like jam, sandwich it between layers of pastry, swirl it into ice cream, or use it to balance out spice or saltiness in sauces and soup.
