About Beans, adzuki, mature seeds, canned, sweetened
This food item is canned, sweetened mature adzuki beans, a convenient form of this small, reddish-brown legume. Adzuki beans are commonly used in East Asian cuisine, particularly in sweet applications like desserts, pastries, and sweet soups. The sweetening process significantly alters the nutritional profile of the beans, resulting in a high carbohydrate content (55.01g per 100g) and a substantial calorie count (237 per 100g).
While the beans provide a source of protein (3.80g per 100g), the dominant macronutrient is carbohydrates, primarily from added sugars. This makes them less suitable for strict low-carbohydrate diets. The minimal fat (0.03g per 100g) and lack of fiber (0.00g per 100g) further differentiate them from unsweetened adzuki beans, which are a good source of dietary fiber.
These sweetened beans can be incorporated into meals as a dessert component or topping. However, portion control is essential due to the high sugar and calorie content. Individuals focusing on weight management or muscle building should consider the impact of the high carbohydrate content on their overall macronutrient intake. Opting for unsweetened adzuki beans and adding natural sweeteners allows for greater control over sugar intake and provides more fiber.
