Lima Beans, Dry

EverydayDry

Dry lima beans are legumes that require soaking and cooking before consumption to soften their texture and improve digestibility. These beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and various micronutrients, making them a nutritious addition to soups, stews, and salads. Available in various sizes and colors, including large 'butter beans' and smaller varieties, dry lima beans should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.
