About Lima beans
Lima beans, also known as butter beans, are nutrient-rich legumes native to Central and South America, named after Lima, Peru. They are creamy, slightly sweet, and often used in soups, stews, and salads across various cuisines. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, they help support digestive health while providing lasting energy. Lima beans are a great source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, potassium, magnesium, and iron, making them beneficial for heart health, anemia prevention, and muscle function. They are naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a healthy choice for balanced diets. However, raw lima beans contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can be toxic if not cooked properly. Cooking them thoroughly removes this concern, ensuring a safe and nutritious addition to your meals. Versatile and wholesome, lima beans are a valuable component of a healthy lifestyle.
