Can Improve Digestion

Adzuki beans could help your stomach and digestive systems. This is primarily due to beans' exceptional concentration of soluble fiber and resistant starch. These fibers move through your gut undigested and into the colon, where they feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut.

Short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which studies connect to a healthy gut and a lower risk of colon cancer, are produced when friendly bacteria feed on the fibers. The strong antioxidant content of the beans may also lessen stomach inflammation, further enhancing digestion, according to animal studies.
