From the bean genus (Phaseolus) of the legume family (Fabaceae), the aduki plant grows like a vine and bears pods filled with beans. These can be cooked whole or�ground�into a fine flour. They have been grown and eaten in Korea, China and Japan since ancient times, and are often called �king of beans�.�

Lush purchase organically-grown aduki beans from Argentina. They are dark red in colour with a thin white line along the ridge.

When you�ve used your product entirely and only the shiny beans remain, why not plant them? Lush staff and customers often send photos of happy little plants growing in their black pots.
