Adzuki beans
Beans from the East, green soy with a chestnut after-taste.
A slightly strange name, adzuki: like an ancient warrior.
But never mind that,
they taste good and are among some of the most nourishing vegetables around.
You can eat them as part of a detox diet,
when you need a high supply of mineral salts and fibre reserves,
and isoflavones, which in practice benefit the immune system.
Then the rule is, if you cook something exotic, you’ll always make a good impression.
