The Adzuki Bean (Vigna angularis) has been grown in the Far East for centuries. Like the soybean, it probably originated in China and was introduced to Japan around 1000 AD. Today, Adzuki beans are one of Japan’s largest crops, with annual consumption of over 120,000 metric tons. Adzuki beans are often sprouted for only one day, mixed with other sprouts and called a “Crispy Mix” or “Crunchy Mix.” They are commonly used throughout Asia in a variety of ways.
