Lima beans, also known as butter beans, are large, flat, kidney-shaped legumes with a creamy texture and a delicate, buttery flavour. Available in both green and white varieties, lima beans are a versatile ingredient in various cuisines around the world. They can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or frozen, and are commonly used in soups, stews, casseroles, salads, and side dishes.
Lima beans are particularly popular in American Southern cuisine, where they are often cooked with ham or bacon for added flavour. Rich in protein, fibre, and essential nutrients like folate and manganese, lima beans offer both delicious taste and nutritional benefits, making them a valuable addition to any balanced diet.
