Where might be the most economical source of adzuki beans? I can't find them on ASDA's website.

I may have an unused portion some years old. Want them?[s]
Can't find 'em. Sainsburys etc used to do them. Real food for bulk?
Third try - have you tried one of the larger Asian retailers? Rajah's on Albert street is usually pretty good. Polypak too.

Used to make a red dragon pie with those little beauties. Kilo of dry beans from real foods would be the way to get cheap pulses

I've fairly sure I recall asking myself what the tee eff an adzuki bean was during a recent jaunt to the beating heart of Sainsbury's pulse aisle.
In other news: the scans are in, and I'm afraid there is no room for doubt. We have middle class.

Are you saying you took the pulse of the pulse aisle and it was middle class...? This is not exactly a surprise?

I sometimes wonder who else gets olives and sun dried tomatoes in Coatbridge Asda. I never see anyone else getting them. Even I only get them for a bread recipe which is much loved by my cow-orkers.
I just get tinned beans these days. Nobody else in the house eats them and it saves boiling the bejesus out of them.

@Uberuce and what exactly is wrong with being middle class?

That's a question I asked myself one day this summer when I was cycling to the Farmers' Market on my recumbent bicycle, wearing clipless sandals, listening to Radio4 podcasts.
I draw the line at polenta, however.

Woah, recumbent and sandals? It'll be a beard you could lose a badger in next.

I found a spider in mine. Does that count?

Pretty sure the Bodram Foods shop next door to Bicycleworks does Aduki beans.

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?

Yeah, they're also referred to as "red beans" in various Asian foods.
I found them in Real Foods for £3.52 per kilo. I'm not sure how competitive that is. I'd have gone for non-organic if that was a choice but it wasn't.

What are you going to do with them now? Red dragon pie. .? or grind them up as an exfoliator?

Plant them and grow your own dragons?
When I discovered the price of organic pine kernels in Real Foods I decided then and there to one day become a pine kernel farmer and make my millions. It was about £62/kilo.

Wow!! Can I nominate this thread as Green Hippy thread of the year?
[joke] :D

Yeah but you can get Chinese pine kernels for 50p in LIDL, so being a bio dynamic organic fair trade pine kernel farmer is a risky business
