About Butter beans
Butter beans, also known as lima beans, are creamy, kidney-shaped legumes commonly found in Southern American cuisine, Latin dishes, and Mediterranean recipes. They are native to Central and South America and prized for their mild, buttery flavor and smooth texture. Rich in fiber and plant-based protein, butter beans support digestive health and muscle repair while providing sustained energy. Packed with essential nutrients like iron, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6, they contribute to heart health, bone strength, and nervous system function. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, they are a heart-smart choice, though canned varieties may carry added sodium. Their versatile profile makes them ideal for soups, casseroles, salads, and curries. A wholesome addition to vegetarian or vegan diets, butter beans offer a nutritious alternative to animal proteins while fortifying meals with vital minerals and nutrients for overall well-being.
