  1. Oooh! I've been wondering how you make this. Look great! I've been dying to know how it tastes, I think I will try this sometime. Now, are Azuki beans and kidney beans the same thing? Or are they different? If they're different, which one tastes better in your opinion?

  2. Hi, Colette
    The Azuki and kidney are different, by taste and size, but both will give you a red color. If you can find Azuki will be better and more easier to work with.
