Adzuki beans are a wonderful source of antioxidants, which are healthy plant chemicals that help shield your body from illnesses and aging. According to studies, adzuki beans are among the foods with the highest antioxidant content, perhaps containing up to 29 distinct kinds of antioxidants. Adzuki beans, like other beans, contain antinutrients that hinder your body's ability to absorb the minerals from the beans. Prior to consumption, there are three effective techniques to lower antinutrient levels and make beans simpler to digest: soaking, sprouting, and fermentation.
