Lima Beans are a nutritious legume, rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron. Originating from the Andes, they are a staple in various cuisines, including Southern and Latin American dishes. These creamy-textured beans are not only versatile but also support heart health and digestion due to their high fiber content. Packed with antioxidants, they help combat inflammation.
