Giant Peruvian Lima Beans, 10 lb – Large Dried Butter Beans for Soup, Stew & Spanish Cooking Bulk by Woodland Gourmet

Giant Peruvian Lima Beans are large, flat legumes prized for their impressive size, savory flavor, and exceptionally creamy texture when cooked. Named for Lima, Peru, where Spanish explorers first encountered them in the 16th century, these beans have been cultivated in the Andean region for thousands of years. Their striking size and buttery consistency make them a standout ingredient in both traditional and modern cuisine. Often referred to as butter beans, Madagascar beans, or lab beans, Giant Peruvian Limas are widely used in Mediterranean, Spanish, and Latin American cooking. They hold their structure during long simmering while developing a smooth, meaty interior. These qualities make them ideal for stews, braised dishes, succotash, herb-infused sautés, and elegant tapas-style preparations. They can also be peeled after cooking and blended into velvety purees. Naturally rich in plant-based protein and fiber, Giant Peruvian Lima Beans offer both hearty texture and balanced nutrition. Their substantial size and creamy finish make them especially suited for professional kitchens and serious home cooks seeking premium dried legumes. To prepare, sort and rinse thoroughly. Soak overnight. Drain and place in a large pot, covering with fresh water by several inches. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for approximately 2 hours or until tender.
