The '''rice bean''' is a small, hairy [[annual plant|annual]] [[vine]] which bears yellow [[flower]]s and small edible [[bean]]s. It is a minor [[food]] and [[fodder]] [[Agriculture|crop]] and occasionally a [[weed]].
The [[English language]] name is a literal translation of the [[Chinese language]] name ({{zh-cp|c=飯豆|p=fàndòu}}).
Seed color is variable, but commonly red or yellow. The red type is commonly named as [[:zh:赤小豆|赤小豆]] in Chinese, literally meaning 'red small bean'.
Although a separate [[species]] from the more common [[azuki bean]], its appearance and uses are similar.
