Mayan Lima Beans

Lima beans are one of the most polarizing beans and more polarizing foods out there. We don’t get all the lima bean hate. Don’t turn up your nose at lima beans; they’re one of the mildest flavored beans. Sometimes called butter beans, these protein rich, creamy beans are mild and delicious. With just a bit of lime juice and toasted pumpkin seeds, lightly charred lima beans make a satisfying dish full of texture and flavor.
