About Lima bean
Lima beans, also known as butter beans, are starchy legumes native to Central and South America, with Peru being their point of origin. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, manganese, potassium, and iron. Their creamy texture and mild flavor make them versatile in a wide range of dishes, from hearty soups and stews to light salads and side dishes. Lima beans are particularly celebrated for promoting digestive health, regulating blood sugar levels, and supporting heart health due to their fiber and mineral content. They are also naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, aligning with various health-conscious diets. However, raw lima beans contain a compound called linamarin, which can be toxic if not thoroughly cooked. Proper preparation ensures their safety and nutritional benefits, allowing them to be a delicious and nourishing addition to your meals.
