I'm not sure how competitive that is. I'd have gone for non-organic if that was a choice but it wasn't. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11764#post-135265 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 14:38:39 +0000 PS 135265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd never heard of adzuki beans (apparently also known as "azuki" as well as "aduki"), but a quick google suggests I've consumed them - I presume these the beans that they make red bean ice drinks with in Hong Kong? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11764#post-135239 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:47:53 +0000 kaputnik 135239@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pretty sure the Bodram Foods shop next door to Bicycleworks does Aduki beans. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11764#post-135236 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:42:58 +0000 kaputnik 135236@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>It'll be a beard you could lose a badger in next.<br /> </em></p> <p>I found a spider in mine.
