With a mild flavor and buttery texture, these nutritious, large legumes are a great source of protein and fiber to fill you up. Limas have about 13 grams of fiber per cup and 14 grams of protein per cup. These beans are also high in vitamins including copper, manganese, iron, and many more. They promote good gut health, and healthy blood sugar levels. 

 

Lima beans get their name from Lima, the capital city of Peru, and they appear in ancient artwork by the Moche culture, which flourished in that region around 1–800 CE. There are two main strains of lima beans: a larger variety which probably originated in the western Andes, usually simply called the lima bean, and a smaller variety likely hailing from the neotropical lowlands of of Mesoamerica and known variously as the sieva bean, butter bean, or baby/junior lima bean. 

 
Our organic lima beans, like many legumes, are packed full of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, including soluble fiber, iron, copper, folate (vitamin B9), phosphorus, magnesium, molybdenum, thiamine (vitamin B1), potassium, calcium, and vitamin B6. That’s a lot of nutrition in such a small package! 
 
This versatile bean is a staple ingredient in many Indian curries and features in the famous and delicious Valencian dish paella. Mild in flavor and smooth in texture, our organic lima beans taste great in soups and casseroles or paired with rice or your favorite grain. You can also mix them with corn and other vegetables to make a Native American dish called succotash. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, try whipping up a buttery pie crust to make a succotash pot pie!
