Adzuki bean vs small red bean?

[BAPyessir6]

I got "small red beans" from the Asian market today, and I'm unsure if they're adzuki or not. What are these guys? Picture of adzuki on the left and mystery bean on the right.

Is this mystery bean a Mexican bean of some sort? The Google translate of the top words said "traditional cuisine." Really helpful, Google. Would love to know what they are so I can figure out how to use em. Thanks guys!

Well, they do kind of look like the red beans we use for cajun cooking, but not exactly. That white split in the beans in you photos is larger than what I'm used to seeing. I'd bet by looking at them that they taste pretty much the same, so I wouldn't have any problem with trying them.

I'm pretty sure you can use them and they won't ruin your meal, so go for it.
