Description
Some people use the name ‘butter beans’ interchangeably with lima beans but there are actually some distinctions between the two. Lima beans originate from South America hence the name, Lima. They have a starchy, buttery texture and can be eaten fresh, or dried first and prepared like other beans. But don’t just settle for a pot of lima beans and ham when you can make vegetarian jalapeño bean burgers, lima bean chow mein, lima bean pasta, lima bean hummus.
