First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.

Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 4g |
Saturated Fat | 0g | 1g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
Nutrient | adzuki beans | soybeans |
Choline | 0% | 0% |
Vitamin A | 0% | 2% |
Vitamin C | 0% | 53% |
Vitamin E | 0% | 0% |
Vitamin K | 0% | 0% |

Vitamin B5 | 13% | 4% |
Vitamin B6 | 14% | 8% |
Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
