Canned Adzuki Beans from Mexico
Canned Adzuki Beans are shelled adzuki beans (Vigna angularis) canned plain or in a light syrup without vinegar. The canning process preserves the beans by heat, placing them in heading 20.05 as vegetables prepared otherwise than by vinegar. Since they are not red bean paste, they are classified under 'other' in subheading 2005.51, making them suitable for Asian cuisine markets in Canada.
