Description

Frozen Baby Lima Beans

Frozen baby lima beans are a type of small, tender legume from the Phaseolus lunatus plant, commonly known as the lima bean. These beans are characterized by their soft and creamy texture and a slightly sweet, buttery flavor, making them ideal for a wide variety of culinary preparations.

Native to Central and South America, lima beans have a long history of cultivation in subtropical and tropical regions and are a traditional ingredient in many Latin American recipes.

In terms of their properties, baby lima beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. Their consumption contributes to a balanced diet, aids digestion, and helps maintain healthy energy levels.

In the culinary world, they are especially valued for their easy preparation when frozen, as they retain their freshness and nutrients, allowing them to be quickly incorporated into stews, soups, salads, or stir-fries.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: baby lima beans, baby lima bean, baby lima bean.
