What it is

Red bean powder is made from dried red beans that have been ground into a fine powder. Red beans, also known as adzuki beans, are small, dark red legumes native to East Asia. The powder retains the natural color and flavor of the beans.

Why it's used

Red bean powder is used as a natural coloring agent and flavor enhancer in a variety of foods. It is commonly found in Asian desserts, pastries, ice cream, and beverages, where it imparts a mild, sweet, earthy flavor and a reddish-brown hue. It can also be used as a thickener or a source of dietary fiber.

Health notes

Red bean powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar legume-derived ingredients. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of any food component should be avoided.

Allergen info

Red bean powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
