Lima Beans
Lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus) are an essential food source globally. They are legumes, meaning they are high in protein, as well as low in fat and cholesterol. They are also high in dietary fiber and minerals like Copper, Potassium and Iron. The high fiber content makes them a beneficial food for digestive health, while the high concentration of vitamins A and C make them a valuable dietary source for important antioxidants. Lima beans are often used in dishes such as soups, salads, and stews due to their versatility and health benefits. They are a great low-cost source of nutrition for those in developing countries.
