Feed this food cooked.
What kind of food is this?
Boiled adzuki beans. Per 100g: 124kcal, 8.7g fiber, 430mg potassium.
Dried adzuki beans have not yet absorbed water, so the same 100g is far more concentrated, with 24.8g of fiber.
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.
How to serve
Boil them until soft before use. Use unseasoned beans — not sweetened anko (red bean paste) or sugared beans.
