Hong Dou - Red Bean

Red Beans, also known as Adzuki Beans, are a great source of essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The bean is native to East Asia and is commonly eaten in Japan, China and other Asian nations. These beans, also known as 'Adzuki Beans', are a tiny, reddish-brown bean with a cream coloured seam and sweet, nutty flavour. They are particularly popular in Asian cooking, most often used for sweet dishes including soups, desserts and as a dim sum filling. In Japan and China, adzuki beans are often cooked and puréed to make a chocolately paste which is used to fill cakes and desserts. Their small size lets them cook quicker than other beans.
