Plant-based protein
Growing in popularity, adzuki beans are packed with protein and nutrients and are versatile.
“If I were to pick one Japanese "superfood" that could become popular, it would be the Adzuki bean," says David Turner of Mintel.
“It has a strong, nutty and sweet flavour which makes it suitable for sweet or savoury dishes - it is used as a sweetened paste in ice creams and in rice to add both colour and flavour.”
