About Red bean paste

Red bean paste is a popular sweet spread or filling made from adzuki beans, sugar, and occasionally fat or starch for added texture. Originating in East Asia, it is a staple in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines, featured in desserts like mochi, buns, and pancakes. Rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants from the adzuki beans, it offers some health benefits, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. However, it is often prepared with a significant amount of added sugar, which can diminish its nutritional value when consumed in excess. Varieties range from smooth to chunky, depending on preparation style and regional preference. Its balance of natural bean flavor and sweetness has made it a beloved ingredient in traditional and modern dishes worldwide.
