About Anko
Anko, a sweet red bean paste made from azuki beans and sugar, is a staple in Japanese cuisine. Often used as a filling in traditional desserts like mochi, dorayaki, and taiyaki, its smooth or chunky texture adds natural sweetness to a variety of treats. Azuki beans are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, making Anko a source of slow-releasing energy. While it offers some nutritional benefits, the sugar content in Anko can be high, so moderation is key. Opting for less-sweetened versions can enhance its health appeal while preserving its authentic flavor. Popular in both traditional and modern recipes, Anko showcases the balance of indulgence and nourishment characteristic of Japanese sweets.
