Lima Beans, Baby

Baby Butter Lima Beans are a dwarf variety of the Lima Bean. These beans are flat, 1/2 inch long with a faint sea shell pattern radiating out from the inner seam. The thin skin of this bean makes it cook quickly while imparting a creamy texture. The name of this bean comes from both its butter like color, sweet, rich flavor and creamy texture. This bean is also referred to as a sieva bean.

Suggested Use:
The smooth texture and flavor of the Baby Butter make it an ideal choice in dishes where the bean stands alone. Pasta salads, or rice and beans are easy entrees.
