About Sweet red bean paste
Sweet red bean paste, known as "anko" in Japanese cuisine, is a traditional confection made from cooked azuki beans and sugar. This versatile ingredient features prominently in East Asian desserts, including mochi, buns, and pastries. Its origins date back centuries, rooted in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean culinary traditions. Red bean paste is rich in dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and includes plant-based protein, which supports muscle health. Azuki beans are naturally low in fat, making them a healthier alternative to heavier dessert fillings. However, the sugar content in sweetened red bean paste can be high, so moderation is key, especially for those monitoring sugar intake. Available in smooth ("koshian") or chunky ("tsubuan") varieties, red bean paste offers a subtly sweet flavor and is prized for its simple yet satisfying nature. Whether enjoyed in classic treats or innovative recipes, it celebrates the balance of indulgence and nourishment.
