Also Known As: SPECKLED LIMA BEANS, CALICO BEANS, BUTTER BEANS

Product Info:
Christmas Limas (Phaseolus limensis) are related to the lima bean, similar to the giant Peruvian Lima but plumper. This is a large bean with a maroon batik pattern over a creamy background. The Christmas Lima is also known as a speckled lima, butter bean, or calico bean. The bean is 7/8" long and maintains its markings after cooking. The bean's chestnut flavor combined with its festive coloring are the reason for the name Christmas Lima.

Suggested Use:
Mix Christmas Limas with sweet corn to make traditional succotash. They are a hearty addition to soups, stews and casseroles, or toss precooked beans in cold vegetable and pasta salads.

Ingredients:
Christmas lima beans.

Basic Preparations:
Rinse and pick over beans. Place in a large pot that has a lid, add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 60 minutes until tender. One cup dry yields 2-1/4 cups cooked.
