Rancho Gordo Green Baby Lima Beans

The origin of Lima beans is thought to be Peru (hence the name Lima). White lima beans are popular in the Southern U.S., where some varieties are known as "butter beans." 

Don't regret the years you've wasted hating lima beans. Make up for lost time by discovering all the different, worthwhile varieties. These baby limas are among the best. 

Ideal on their own, perhaps buttered, these delicate limas make a great side dish to round out a spring menu. They are a natural fit for a succotash or salad, and also pair well with bacon or ham.

Please note: The very attractive light green color is one of nature's little tricks. Once cooked, they don't stay green.
