Adzuki Bean and Job's-Tears Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo notes that gout often comes from irregular hours, heavy stress and too much high-purine food — mushrooms, organ meats, beans, seafood and shellfish — plus too much beer and rich, sugary, fatty eating, which all strain the body’s handling of uric acid. The first attack often hits at night, a big toe joint flaring red and hot. He stresses changing the lifestyle and diet early. While most beans run high in purines, adzuki beans are low, and both adzuki and job’s-tears are traditionally used to help the body move fluid along, which is why he pairs them here.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Mung beans · Randomized crossover trial, 20 participants · 2019
    Breath hydrogen and methane were higher after wheat than after rice or mung bean noodles. Bloating scores after mung bean did not differ significantly from wheat, and mung bean produced gas levels similar to rice.Limitation: Small sample of 20 patients, with single meals tested rather than habitual intake, so longer-term effects of mung bean on symptoms are unknown.PubMed 31484315 · 1 more mung beans study
  • Adzuki beans · Randomized crossover trial, 10 participants · 2019
    Adzuki bean meals had a low glycemic index (21–51 range reported with lotus seed), whereas other starchy foods did not differ significantly from rice. Adzuki bean hydrolysis index was lower than other test foods.Limitation: Only ten healthy participants and acute single-meal responses, so effects in people with diabetes or with regular intake are unknown.PubMed 30875961 · 1 more adzuki beans study
