Butter beans are large, creamy-coloured beans with a soft, floury texture when cooked. They make a great vegetarian pate and work well in mixed bean salads, or rich, wintry stews. They are also a useful source of potassium.

Product Details

Like most beans, lima beans are rich in the best sort of fiber - soluble fiber - which helps to eliminate cholesterol from the body. They are a good source of potassium, iron, copper and manganese. As a high potassium, low-sodium food they help reduce blood pressure. Not only are they low in fat, but when combined with grains, beans supply high quality protein which provides a healthy alternative to meat or other animal protein.

Serving Suggestion

Soak overnight, rinse, bring to the boil and simmer until tender (less than 2 hours).

Ingredients

Just butter beans, and nothing else.

Very nice beans, if you soak them for a day before cooking, they cook quicker.
