About
The azuki bean is an annual vine widely grown throughout East Asia and the Himalayas for its small (approximately 5 mm) bean. The cultivars most familiar in north-east Asia have a uniform red color, but white, black, gray and variously mottled varieties are also known
They are usualy prepared into a sweetened paste known as red bean paste and used in many Chinese and Japanese dishes both sweet and savoury.
