The lima bean plant (Phaseolus lunatus) is named after the city of Lima, Peru, where people have been eating them since 6000 BC. In the U.S., Native Americans grew lima beans before the English settlers landed. Lima beans are also known as butter beans or chad beans.
Lima as well as thin butter beans are very rich sources of many B-complex vitamins, especially vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine), thiamin (vitamin B-1), pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and niacin. Most of these vitamins functions as co-enzymes in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.00 g beans carry 338 calories and provide 21.46 g or 38% of daily recommended intake of protein. In addition, lima are rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and plant sterols. They, fresh or dried, contain substantial amounts of dietary fiber (50% per100g RDA).
