Aduki beans - also known as adzuki or azuki beans - are particularly popular in Asian cooking, most often used for sweet dishes including soups, desserts and as a dim sum filling.

Aduki beans are regarded as the king of beans in Japan and are prized for their health-giving properties: reputedly benefitting the liver and the kidneys. In Japan and China aduki beans are often cooked, puréed and mixed with sugar to make a chocolately paste which is used to fill cakes and desserts.
