    ABOUT

    Adzuki, Vigna angularis, is the small red bean of East Asian cooking, also known as azuki or simply red bean. Grown as a microgreen it gives thick, pale stems and green leaves with a sweet, nutty taste and a mild bean note. The stems are crisp and juicy, with a clean snap when you bite them.

    Adzuki grows differently from most microgreens. Broccoli or radish lift their seed leaves out of the medium, but adzuki keeps them inside the seed, at the base of the stem. What comes up is a stem with simple, heart-shaped first leaves, and the dark red seed often stays visible below. It also takes its time: 6 days in the dark and 15–17 days in total. Some growing guides give shorter times, but in our own test trays adzuki needed 15–17 days.

    Why 150 g per tray? Adzuki seeds are fairly large, about 6–10 to the gram, so 150 g gives roughly one seed per square centimetre of a 25 × 50 cm tray. That is a full tray with some air between the stems. Sow up to 200 g if you want a denser, heavier crop. In our test trays we sowed soaked seed at this rate.

    IN THE KITCHEN

    Adzuki microgreens are sturdy, with a sweet, nutty taste. Add them to grain bowls, ramen and miso soup just before serving, roll them into sushi or rice-paper rolls, or toss them through a salad with a sesame dressing. Keep them dry in a closed box in the fridge and use them within a few days.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Weigh 150 g of dry seed (150–200 g), rinse it and soak it in plenty of cool water for 8–12 hours. Drain it very well: soggy beans invite mould.
    2 Fill a 25 × 50 cm tray with 2–3 cm of moist potting soil or coco coir and press it down firmly. Spread the soaked seeds in a single, close layer, touching but not piled up, and press them lightly into the surface.
    3 Put a second tray on top with a light weight and keep the stack in the dark at 18–22 °C for 6 days. Check every day and water from below if the medium starts to dry out. Keep it moist, but never waterlogged.
    4 After 6 days, take off the cover and move the tray under a grow light or to a bright window. The pale shoots turn green within a day or two. Water from below and give the tray some airflow: it helps prevent mould.
    5 Harvest 15–17 days after sowing, when the first leaves have opened. Stop watering about 12 hours before and cut just above the seeds with clean, sharp scissors or a knife, so the seed coats stay in the tray.
