What kind of food is this?
Boiled adzuki beans. Per 100g: 124kcal, 8.7g fiber, 430mg potassium.
Adzuki are also known as a polyphenol-containing bean. Polyphenols are a broad group of plant-made compounds, and some are studied for their role in protecting cells from oxidation by free radicals.
Their hallmark is delivering bean protein, fiber, and plant compounds all together.
Adzuki beans in their dry state. Per 100g: 20.8g protein, 24.8g fiber, 1300mg potassium, 5.5mg iron.
These are pre-soak numbers, so the same 100g is far less concentrated after boiling. Dry-bean numbers are for measuring before cooking, not the concentration as eaten.
How to serve
boiled — Use beans boiled until soft with no seasoning — not sweetened anko (red bean paste) or sugared beans.
dried — Do not use raw beans; boil them until soft before using.
