About Butter bean
Butter beans, also known as lima beans, are a creamy, versatile legume commonly featured in Southern U.S., Latin American, and Mediterranean cuisines. Native to Central and South America, they derive their name from their smooth, buttery texture and mild flavor. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, vitamin B6, and magnesium, butter beans support heart health, digestion, and muscle function. Their low fat content and ability to promote satiety make them an excellent choice for weight management. Additionally, they contain important antioxidants such as manganese, which contributes to cellular protection. However, butter beans do contain moderate amounts of carbohydrates, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring carbohydrate intake. Whether enjoyed in soups, stews, salads, or creamy dips, butter beans are a nutritious and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
