Note from Gillian McKeith: "...Aduki (also called Adzuki) beans are an excellent bean food source, high in nutrients but low in calories...exceptionally high levels of fiber, vitamin B complex and minerals (iron, manganese and zinc)...acts as a natural diuretic to relieve the body of excess fluids...also removes unwanted mucus, congestion...burns fat and balances metabolism for weight management. If you want to lose weight, this is the bean for you."
Auzuki beans are SO easy to make because they don't require soaking. Sort out debris from beans and rinse. Add 1 cup beans to 3 cups water, bring to boil for 1-5 minutes, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Stir often, if water evaporates, add more; discard foam that collects on top. I double it and pop them in the fridge to eat with meals and as a snack throughout the week.
Today I seasoned some warm beans with sea salt, fresh ground pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and chives. Then I sliced half an avocado that I eventually mashed into the beans and ate them with a whole sliced red pepper.
