Manju is a traditional Japanese confection characterized by its soft, steamed or baked outer dough made from flour, rice, or buckwheat, and its sweet, flavorful filling, most commonly red bean paste (anko) made from adzuki beans. Originating centuries ago in Japan, it is a popular treat often enjoyed with tea. While red bean paste is rich in fiber, iron, and plant-based protein, its high sugar content can be a drawback if consumed in excess. The dough, depending on its type, may provide some carbohydrates and minimal fats. Variations of Manju may also include fillings such as chestnut paste or matcha, offering additional nutrients like antioxidants. Though not inherently a "health food," its small portion size makes it an occasional indulgence that can be balanced within a healthy diet.
