red beans
Red beans, also known as adzuki beans, are small yet packed with nutrients and have been a staple in many traditional diets. From a macrobioitic perspective, red beans are valued for their ability to support kidney health, detoxify the body, and provide a balanced source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), red beans are considered warming and sweet, helping to strengthen the blood and support digestive function. They are especially known for their ability to drain dampness, making them ideal for reducing bloating and edema. From a Western nutritional standpoint, red beans are rich in antioxidants, folate, and iron, making them a great addition to a heart-healthy diet.
