Tian Mian Jiang

Tian Mian Jiang is a sweet paste made from cooked azuki (red) beans and sugar, widely used in Japanese, Chinese and other East Asian confections and pastries. It is relatively high in added sugars at 33.9g per 100g, which is why it’s typically eaten in small portions as a dessert component. Nutritionally, Tian Mian Jiang delivers plant-based protein and is a good source of fiber for a sweet spread, while being low in fat. Because much of its calories come from added sugar, it’s best used as a flavouring or filling rather than a primary source of nutrition. From a health perspective, the paste provides notable fiber and a useful amount of plant protein for a legume-based product, but the high sugar content and modest micronutrient density mean it’s more of an occasional treat than a daily staple.
