ADZUKI BEANS

These Australian grown small reddish-brown dried Adzuki Beans are non GMO and have no added preservatives. Adzuki beans have a sweet nutty flavour and natural savoury aroma. Adzuki Beans originate in Asia, where they are found in sweet and savoury recipes.

In Japanese cooking adzuki beans are used to make Red Bean paste and in traditional celebration dishes for New Years. Delicious in a variety of sweet or savoury dishes.

How to Use:

To cook Adzuki beans, pre-soak in cold water for 1-2 hours. Drain and place beans in a pot of cold water. Bring to the boil, reduce to medium heat and simmer until tender – about 30-40 minutes. Do not add salt while cooking, as this can make outer skins of legumes tough. Drain and use, or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
