Anko Red Bean Pasteあんこ · Anko · ถั่วแดงกวนหวาน

Anko combines legume-derived fiber and polyphenols with high sucrose content, leading to moderate glycemic load but improved satiety compared to pure sugar fillings.

Overview

Sweetened red bean paste made from adzuki beans and sugar, used as a filling in Japanese desserts.

Food note

Anko should be treated as a sweet filling rather than a health food. Its fiber slightly moderates glucose absorption but does not offset sugar load.

Pros

  • Fiber
  • Plant protein
  • Traditional energy source

Cons

  • High sugar
  • High carbs
