	Also Known As: Product Info: Giant Peruvian Lima (Phaseolus limensis) is a large, flat, cream colored bean about 1 inch in length. These beans can also be referred to as butter, curry, Madagascar, lab, or Pole Beans. Native to Central America, the Giant Peruvian Lima has a creamy texture and savory flavor. Spanish explorers brought the bean to Europe where it thrived in the temperate climate. The slave trade carried the bean to Africa where it is now one of the most widely consumed beans on the continent. Suggested Use: Lima Beans are traditionally used in Succotash, a dish first enjoyed by the Native Americans. Its light flavor shines when simply tossed with olive oil and herbs. The smooth texture allows the bean to work well in a pureed form. Ingredients: Giant Peruvian lima beans. Basic Preparations: Soak overnight. Rinse and place in a large pot and cover with fresh water. Bring water to a boil for 3 minutes, reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes. This bean produces foam, so skim the water regularly while cooking. One cup dry yields 2-1/4 cups cooked.
