This smaller variety of lima bean, also known as the sieva bean, butter bean, or baby/junior lima, like many legumes, are packed full of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins including soluble fiber, iron, copper, folate (vitamin B9), phosphorus, magnesium, molybdenum, thiamine (vitamin B1), potassium, calcium, and vitamin B6. That’s a lot of nutrition in such a small package! This versatile bean is a staple ingredient in many Indian curries and features in the famous and delicious Valencian dish paella. Mild in flavor and smooth in texture, our lima beans taste great in soups and casseroles or paired with rice or your favorite grain. Kosher, non-GMO, grown in USA. Cooking instructions: Sort and rinse before cooking. Soak beans overnight. Drain and rinse. Add 4 cups water for every 1 cup beans. Liquid should cover beans by 1–2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer about 45 minutes. Check occasionally and add more water if needed. If using a pressure cooker, pressure cook 3–5 minutes. 1 cup dry beans yields 2–2 1/2 cups cooked beans.
