Also called “butter beans” because of their starchy yet buttery texture, lima beans are a nutritional powerhouse and can be cooked or ground into flour. They have been found in coastal regions of Peru dating back to 6000 –5000 BC.

Lima beans are now one of the most widely cultivated crops and can grow in temperate and subtropical regions but its origins can be traced back to Peru. Since the beans were first exported to Europe and America from Lima, Peru’s capital city, they acquired the name from the shipping destination label. Lima bean flour can be combined with other flours in order to create high protein baked goods, falafel, bean dips, used in crepe batter and other treats. Additionally, when added to soups the flour can create a flavorful, non-dairy, creamy texture.
