Lima beans are a good source of vitamin B, protein and fiber. They are also low in fat and calories. Like most beans they also have long term shelf life. Great to add to your food storage and emergency preparedness stock. Beans need to be soaked overnight or boiled several hours for tenderness. We recommend an Instant Pot for fast cook times (45 minutes). They can be eaten alone with salt, pepper or other desired spices or used in salads or soups..

Packaged in a plant that handles milk, wheat, eggs, soy, and tree nut products.
Ingredients: Baby Lima beans.
Directions: For overnight soaking, cover each cup of beans with 3 cups water and let stand overnight or 12 hours. For quicker results, add dry beans to boiling water boiling 2 minutes and let stand for 1 hour. In cooking, use same water. Cover and simmer slowly in water until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add more water if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, onion, or garlic. Cooking tips: to keep skin from bursting, simmer gently and stir as little as possible. Add 1/8 tsp. baking soda per cup of beans to shorten cooking time in hard water. Do not add tomatoes, lemon juice, wine, or vinegar until beans are almost tender as they delay softening.
