Abstract: Edible seedlings are known for their nutritional value and potential health benefits; however, only a limited number of species are currently utilized. To explore new resources, we performed comprehensive metabolite profiling of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) seedlings using eight cultivars. Through LC-MS/MS fingerprint analysis combined with principal component analysis, significant metabolic changes were revealed in day 11 seedlings, leading to the identification of sixteen compounds including a new coumestan glycoside. Further LC-MS/MS analysis identified 133 metabolites, which were validated by molecular networking. Using fold change and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, we found that the metabolite changes effectively distinguished between different growth states and cultivars, with flavonoids, and saponins being predominantly observed on days 7–11. Notably, high levels of bacterial neuraminidase metabolites were detected in ARR cultivar at day 7 and in YDC cultivar during days 9–11, suggesting the potential of adzuki bean seedlings as a functional food.
