About Butterbean
Butterbeans, also known as lima beans, are creamy, flat legumes that originated in Central and South America. They are a common ingredient in Southern U.S. cuisine, as well as in Latin American dishes. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like potassium, folate, and iron, butterbeans are a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and energy metabolism. They are naturally low in fat and can help regulate blood sugar levels due to their complex carbohydrates. Though highly nutritious, they should be eaten in moderation if canned varieties are used, as they can be high in sodium. Butterbeans can be enjoyed in soups, stews, salads, or as a standalone side dish. Their mild flavor and velvety texture make them versatile and appealing, whether prepared in savory recipes or blended into dips.
