Baby Lima Beans

Baby Lima beans have been cultivated in Peru, then introduced to the U.S., and now the majority growth is in California. They are served as a side dish or in casseroles, soups and stews. Baby lima beans contain cholesterol-lowering fiber. In addition their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, so making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. Also are very rich sources of many B-complex vitamins & minerals.
