Flour

Adzuki flour is dried beans milled to a fine or medium powder—naturally gluten-free, pink-beige, and lightly sweet. It thickens soups, colours and flavours batters, and appears in some East Asian cakes and steamed goods; alone it can taste beany if undercooked. Toast lightly for a nuttier aroma before baking, or blend with rice or wheat flours for structure. Store airtight; bean flours stale and pick up moisture faster than refined starch. Not a 1:1 swap for wheat in yeast breads without recipe adjustment.
