An essential ingredient in the Japanese confection, yokan, adzuki beans are ground into a paste, mixed with sugar, and garnished with persimmons or chestnuts.

This medium-grained white rice from the 1999 California harvest, cooks up plump, moist, and tender. The kernels are coated with corn syrup, which makes them shiny and helps retain moisture, but has no affect on the taste. The texture is stickier than long-grain rice, but fluffier than short-grain, making this versatile rice for a variety of Asian dishes, from sushi to fried rice.

Dried, whole green mung beans are versatile, pretty, and even good for you. They are easy to digest, 20 percent protein, and rich in lysine and minerals. Mung beans are used in much Indian cooking and are also known as green gram. They need no pre-soaking and have a slightly sweet flavor. Use in soups, or as an accompaniment to rice. Or, soak the beans in water until they sprout, and use the sprouts in salads and stir-fries.
