Pallares, also known as Peruvian lima beans, are large, creamy legumes native to Peru and a staple in traditional Andean cuisine. They are packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like potassium, iron, and folate, making them an excellent choice for supporting muscle health, digestion, and energy production. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, Pallares are ideal for heart health and maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. Their rich, buttery texture and mild flavor make them versatile in soups, stews, and side dishes. Often paired with grains like quinoa or rice, Pallares contribute to a balanced diet, particularly in vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. While highly nutritious, they should be enjoyed in moderation by individuals prone to bloating, as legumes can occasionally cause digestive discomfort without proper cooking or soaking.
