Azuki is one of the unknown legumes in our country. Although available in certain places, especially among gourmet cuisine, few have tasted these red and small beans coming from the East. The distinguishing feature of this variety is the specific white line on one side.
Azuki beans are preferred for two reasons. In the first place is easy and fast picking.

On the other hand, the small berries and their soft taste make it suitable for both savory and sweet dishes.
Azuki beans are often called the king of legumes. This is determined by the taste and nutritional qualities, as well as the unique red color, which is an indicator of power.

In European countries, azuki beans are traditionally prepared in soup, stew and in various salty fillings. There are also restaurants that offer bold sweet variations in classic continental desserts, such as creams and fillings.
Azuki is a preferred ingredient in almost all types of cold salads. It can also be found in recipes for frappes, candies, pancakes, cakes, meat sauces and what not. Its most interesting application is in shave. This is ice cream made by lightly scraping an ice block.
Azuki beans have one major advantage over other bean varieties. It is the most easily digestible variety. Therefore, an alternative to more gas-forming beans is available. In addition, it does not contain gluten, which many people are intolerant to.
