Naturally-sweetened white bean paste.For a mild and sweet Japanese dessert filling, this smooth white bean paste is a popular pick for flavouring daifuku mochi, manju buns, mushi pan and more. Produced by mashing white kidney beans with sugar, starch syrup and salt, the gentle, nutty texture of this paste is well-suited to making traditional spring treats and desserts. Soothing and less sweet than most jams, preserves and other sweet fillings, this creamy paste is great to use as alternative ingredient in Western baking.
