Butter Beans, Dry

EverydayDry

Dry butter beans, also known as lima beans, are legumes that require soaking and cooking before consumption. As a dried bean, they offer a concentrated source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, contributing to satiety and digestive health. Once cooked, they develop a creamy, buttery texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making them a versatile addition to soups, stews, and salads.
