Adzuki Beans 500g

Like most beans, adzuki beans are loaded with fiber, protein, complex carbs and beneficial plant compounds.
Adzuki beans also provide good amounts of antioxidants, which are beneficial plant compounds that can protect your body against aging and diseases.
Studies show that adzuki beans may contain up to 29 different types of antioxidants, making them one of the most antioxidant-rich foods available.
However, like all beans, adzuki beans also harbor antinutrients, which reduce your body’s ability to absorb minerals from the beans.
Soaking, sprouting and fermenting the beans prior to eating them are three good ways to reduce antinutrient levels and make the beans easier to digest.
Adzuki beans may improve your digestion and gut health.
That’s largely because beans are particularly rich in soluble fiber and resistant starch.
These fibers pass through your gut undigested until they reach the colon, where they serve as food for your good gut bacteria.
When friendly bacteria feed on the fibers, they create short-chain fatty acids — such as butyrate, which studies link to a healthier gut.
High antioxidant content of the beans may reduce gut inflammation, further boosting digestion.
