Lima Beans are believed to have originated in Peru or Guatemala and are also called butterbeans. The pods are a bright green and the seeds are a creamy white color. The kidney shaped bean is large and somewhat flat. The dried beans are used in stews and succotash, a traditional dish made with corn and lima beans. The fresh beans have a wonderful sweet less starchy taste than the dried beans. The fresh beans are highly perishable so pick them when you want to use them; they do not store well.
