Adzuki Bean

Adzuki Bean (Vigna angularis) is a small, annual vine native to the eastern regions of Asia including Assam, China South-Central, China Southeast, East Himalaya, Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, Taiwan, and Vietnam. This plant thrives in light to partial sun with varying soil types—ranging from sandy to heavy clay—and can tolerate both dry and moist conditions. Growing up to 0.8 meters tall, the adzuki bean is known for its edible seeds and seedpods, making it a valuable crop in many Asian cuisines. Its adaptability to diverse environments contributes to its widespread cultivation across its native range.
