I make the best lima bean soup ever and people that don't even like them eat my soup. I crave it so I wanted to know why there's so many reasons now to eat them THANK YOU 💕 I subscribed 🕊️
Hi Wendy! Thanks so much for watching, sharing about your soup, AND subscribing!! I truly appreciate all of it! The lima bean soup sounds delish :) Take care :)
Wow, it’s a powerhouse of nutrition! I’ve loved Lima beans since I was a child. I have afternoon snacks of steamed lima beans with a little butter and salt sometimes. So delicious.
I'm eating baked lima beans right now why watching you talk. So so good! I make it the way I will enjoy it thanks for sharing. Remain blessed by God's grace.
Can't find any info on the nutritional value of butter beans. All kinds of info on Lima beans, which are unripened butter beans, comes up when I ask for info on butter beans. Is there any difference in the nutritional value?
Hi Bobby! That's a great question! From what I can gather, they are both plants from the same botanical family, but they are different varieties. I did a comparison of 100 grams of both canned lima beans and canned butter beans on Cronometer.com. (I chose the canned varieties so I knew I'd have similar items to compare.) The lima beans showed a much higher nutritional value all the way around, including vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein content. There's not enough space for me to detail all the info here, but you could go to that same site and compare them yourself. It's free to use. It's POSSIBLE that Cronometer simply doesn't have much nutritional information for the various brands of canned butter beans that they have on file. To satisfy my curiosity, I also looked at butter beans that were cooked from dried and compared it with the nutritional value of lima beans that were cooked from dried. The two types of beans are similar in nutrients, with the lima beans coming out ahead (having more of those same nutrients). So, from what I can gather, although they contain similar nutrients, lima beans have a higher nutritional value than do butter beans. So, in answering your question, from the info on Cronometer.com, I can say that lima beans have a higher nutritional value than do butter beans. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and asking! This was enlightening :)
Hi Babyroo! From what I understand, YES, the leaves of lima bean plants are edible. I would cook them like any leafy green. Here's a link to a video where I show how I typically cook leafy greens of any type (the onions can be used or omitted...as per your personal preference). You can briefly saute them in a little oil of choice, or skip that step and just use a little liquid (water or broth) instead... ruclips.net/video/Dj2cneh-cxI/видео.html Thanks for watching and asking :)
Yes, cooking any dry bean takes time. I prefer frozen lima beans over dried ones, but all dried beans are fine too. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
@@JudiintheKitchen In my experience, dry lima beans takes longer to cook than other dry beans - such as white beans, red kidney beans and others. Thanks😊
@@katesage3221 You got that right! The large ones particularly. Do not add salt until they are completely tender, otherwise, even if they were pre-soaked overnight, you'll be cooking these bad boys for 24 hours!
I have been eating them for the last 5 days of the vine. Just before they start coloring, so beans skins are white, with green flesh. They are so yummy. So Doc how long do I got?😵💫
LOL :) I can't answer that one, but it may be wise to start cooking them rather than eating them raw. I'm sure they are yummy...but... Thanks for watching and sharing. Best wishes to you :)
I don’t know if the Lima beans that come from Mexico are different from the ones you say put we grow them in our back yard and my husband and grand son have always eat them raw and been fine and a lot of us Mexicans eat them raw
Hi Olga! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! I didn't know it was customary to eat raw lima beans in Mexico! That's really very interesting to me. I'll look into that one for sure. Thanks again for sharing :)
Hi Margaux! Thank you for watching and sharing! Please note that frozen but uncooked lima beans are not truly raw. If they were commercially frozen, they were first blanched before being packaged and frozen. With that being said, their toxic compound should have been at least partially neutralized in that process. If you are in the United States, I've learned that those grown in the US have a lower level of the toxic compound. As far as I can tell, all those factors combined should make you OK, or at least not overly sick. I really would not make a habit of eating them like that. Always cook them first! But in this case, hopefully you'll be OK. Many blessings to you!!
@@JudiintheKitchen limas are so bland and so chewy I nearly gag on them. So, I eat either purple onion or habanero with them. The heat from either makes the blandness exterminated.
@@stopdeforestation Bland and chewy? Are you cooking them?? If you are cooking them and they are chewy, it sounds like they haven't been cooked long enough. I like frozen lima beans...they have a good flavor to me and my husband. However dried, soaked and cooked lima beans are more bland. Maybe you're cooking dried limas?
Thanks for watching and sharing! Regarding the Beano...It may help to eat a small amount of beans on a regular basis. Build from there as your gut bacteria get used to them. The problem should get better over time. Hope this helps :)

Hi Robert! I would consider canned lima beans to be already cooked. Dried lima beans should be soaked and well cooked. Frozen lima beans should be cooked according to package directions...generally until they are tender. Thank you for watching and sharing :)
I love lima beans so much, can live on just lima beans for the rest of my life, and love every second of it!
Great for you!!! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Love it ☺️. Subscribed. Do you know if the leaves are edible? Does anyone have a recipe? I think South Asians eat lima beans leaves.

Lima beans are great. They can be served in so many different ways, like other legumes. Cooking dry lima beans though takes much longer time🤔

My nickname for Lima beans is green pennies.
Now THAT'S an interesting name for them! Thanks for watching and sharing :)

@@JudiintheKitchen I'm using frozen b4by limas. I do the time it says on package, and I add the water it says.
@@stopdeforestation Interesting! Maybe you should just cook them longer so you're happier with them. No harm in that.
Love them, but need Beano to tolerate them.
