Beans, aduki, whole, dried, raw

Aduki beans are a type of pulse. The figures here describe whole, dried, raw beans, rather than cooked beans. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein: per 100g, they contain 50g of carbohydrate and 20g of protein, with 0.5g of fat. They also provide minerals, including 4.2mg of iron per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron helps the body make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried beans need cooking before eating and absorb water during preparation, so these figures do not represent the same weight of cooked beans. Added salt or sauces can change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
