Lima Bean Recipes

Lima beans are sometimes called butter beans, especially in the Southern United States. Lima beans can be fried, sauteed or baked. They can be used in casseroles, put in soups or added to a bean mixture known as succotash.

Lima beans are packed with protein, fiber, and other nutrients, making them a superfood. Lima beans are a really good source of iron. One cup of lima beans contains roughly one quarter of your daily recommended iron.

Succotash is a vegetable dish consisting primarily of sweet corn with lima beans or other shell beans. Other ingredients may be added, such as onions, potatoes, turnips, tomatoes, bell peppers, corned beef, salt pork, or okra.
