八穀米（小豆）

I wasn’t expecting the dry grains to cook up so fluffy, but the adzuki beans add a nice mild sweetness that makes a plain bowl of rice feel like a real side dish.

The adzuki beans give it a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the other grains, so it's not your plain white rice. The texture stays nicely chewy even after sitting in the fridge, which makes my meal-prepped lunches feel a bit more special.

Cooked up a pot for dinner tonight and the adzuki beans held their shape nicely while the grains turned soft and chewy. It's a solid dry pantry staple that makes a simple side dish feel a bit more special. I'll be keeping this in rotation.
