Description: |
Adzuki beans are a hard dark red bean variety. Like most beans, adzuki beans are rich in the best sort of fiber - soluble fiber - which helps to eliminate cholesterol from the body. They are a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc copper, manganese and vitamin B3. As a high-potassium, low-sodium food they help reduce blood pressure. Not only are they low in fat, but also when combined with grains, beans supply high quality protein, which provides a healthy alternative to meat, or other animal protein. Adzuki beans also contain protease inhibitors, which frustrate the development of cancerous cells.
To avoid flatulence caused by eating beans, beans should be soaked for several hours in order to destroy the bean toxin lecithin.
