Azuki Beans #144

Azuki beans are red small beans and they are relatively popular in Japan.

They are used in various Japanese desserts and you can get one in any grocery stores.

I wanted to cook azuki beans from scratch by myself because store bought ones have lots of sugar.

I googled azuki and found out they are rich in polyphenol and fiber, plus they are low-fat and high-protein.

So if I don't add sugar they are pretty healthy food.

I cooked azuki beans and then, made soy milk pudding with the beans.

When I ate it I added some honey. It was really good!


小豆は赤い小さな豆で、日本では比較的人気があります。

いろいろな和菓子に使われますし、スーパーにも売っています。

お店に売ってる小豆は砂糖がたくさん入っているから、私は小豆を自分で最初から作りたいと思いました。

小豆についてググったら、ポリフェノールと食物繊維が豊富で、それに低脂肪で高たんぱくだということがわかりました。

だから、砂糖を入れなければ、かなり健康的な食べ物です。

私は、小豆を茹でて、それから小豆入りの豆乳プリンを作りました。

食べる時にはちみつを少し加えました。とっても美味しかったです。

Thank you so much for your corrections!

Azuki beans are red small red beans and they are relatively popular in Japan.

English has a concept of the correct order of adjectives. Unfortunately, that means "red small beans" sounds very unnatural and "small red beans" is what native speakers would say.

So if I don't add sugar, they are actually a pretty healthy food.

I feel like it sounds more natural to add "actually" so that you can express a contrast/realization. Like "Surprisingly, they’re healthy”. What you wrote is fine though!

Wow, I didn't know that azuki is so healthy. And soy milk pudding made with azuki sounds delicious!

Thank you so much for your corrections! Yes, soy milk pudding made with azuki is really good. Maybe azuki goes well with ordinary (normal) milk, too. I want to eat azuki a lot, but I have to be careful.

Azuki Beans

A note that "Azuki" isn't strictly wrong, but the most common way of spelling it appears to be "Adzuki"

Azuki beans are red small, red beans and they are relatively popular in Japan.

Word order feels more natural this way around. A comma is generally used to separate multiple adjectives

They are used in various Japanese desserts and you can get onethem in any grocery stores.

I would guess that you almost never buy a single bean on its own so it makes most sense to talk about them using a plural. "grocery store" should be singular here.

I wanted to cook azuki beans from scratch by myself because store bought ones have lots of sugar.

"by myself" feels redundant here

I googled azuki and found out they are rich in polyphenol and fiber, plus they are low-fat and high-protein., so if I don't add sugar they are pretty healthy food.

Extra space should be removed. I would also recommend combining the following sentence with this one.

So if I don't add sugar they are pretty healthy food.

I recommend combining with the previous sentence.

Comma not needed. Repetition of "beans" can be avoided by using "them".

Comma should be added here.

I like fine red bean paste (こしあん) but I can't eat it if it still feels like beans.

Azuki Beans

Azuki beans are red small red beans and theythat are relatively popular in Japan.

It's not exactly a rule, but conventionally, you put size adjectives like "small" before color adjectives like "red". (As an aside, the bean is sometimes written as "adzuki" as well in English, but I personally prefer the spelling you use.)

They are used in various Japanese desserts, and you can get one insome from any grocery stores.

"Some" is more appropriate here, unless you are actually buying a single azuki bean instead of a bagful of them.

I wanted to cook azuki beans from scratch by myself, because store -bought ones (often) have lots of sugar added to them.

The (corrected) sentence works without the word "often", but adding that word accounts for the possibility that there is at least one store that doesn't add sugar to their azuki.

I googled azuki and found out that they are rich in polyphenol and fiber, plus they areas well as being low-fat and high-protein.

"Googled" has become genericized enough to be written in small letters, but I personally don't care for it, and I still capitalize it myself.

So if I don't add sugar to them, they are a pretty healthyful food.

I am aware "healthy food" is a popular phrase these days, but properly speaking: bodies are "healthy", while foods are "healthful". (One of my very few grammatical peeves.)

I cooked some azuki beans, and then, made soy milk pudding with the beans.

When I ate it, I added some honey.

It was really good!

Azuki really is nice in deserts. I like anpan, myself.

Beans (plural) => them

What follows "any" will almost always be singular

The way you wrote it would be like you started eating it, stopped eating to add honey, then continued eating.

If you sat down with your bowl and put honey on the beans before starting to eat, you would write it as I edited here.

It was really good!
