Organic Butter Beans (also known as Lima Beans) are large soft beans which go well in a whole host of recipes. They come from curved pods about 3 inches long and have been cultivated in Peru for over 7000 years. Their soft, floury texture makes them a great addition to stews, bean chilli and soups.
Organic butter beans can be added to recipes to provide additional protein, fibre and essential nutrients. They are a source of folate which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue – particularly important for those with hectic schedules.
Just one 70g serving of cooked butter beans is a source of Folate, Potassium and Manganese.
Due to their nutritional content butter beans make a filling addition to a meal and help to stave hunger cravings. The size and texture of butter beans makes them a lovely addition to bean or rice salads.
