Frozen Lima Beans
This week the local supermarket has frozen veges on sale $1 for one
pound package. I was surprised to find that the regular price for Lima Beans is $3.99. Maybe I'll plant some this season in addition to my regular row of string beans. Are they hard to grow? What are some easy recipes? |

My dad makes his own lima bean, rice, and tomato stew that he serves fairly frequently as a side dish when I visit my parents for dinner. My dad takes whole tomatoes from his garden or store bought, cuts them up and slowly simmers them in a big pot of water with some spices until he gets a sauce, then he adds canned lima beans, white rice, and some other vegies, simmers the mixture more. The result is a vegetable stew that he really enjoys. I am not a big lima bean fan so I seldom eat any of it, but my folks enjoy it a lot and its very easy, but time consuming to slowly simmer the stew. |

I thought they were different, and I certainly seem to think that I have a preference for butter beans over lima beans. (Hopefully I'm not crazy and basing my preference only on the name when the actual food is no different. That would be embarrassing.) Is it possible this is one of those things where several varieties go by the same name? When I was a kid, I told everyone I hated green beans, except Del Monte brand, which I liked. Everyone told me I was nuts and that they were all the same thing, until one day I happened to mention this to my grandfather (who was a food broker and thus knew a bit more about green beans than the average person), and instead of telling me I was nuts he said, "Well, Del Monte only cans Blue Lake variety. It could be that you like Blue Lake variety green beans and not the others." Sure enough he was right -- I found some store brand Blue Lake green beans and they were the good stuff. The point being, maybe the terms "butter beans" and "lima beans" actually do refer to something slightly different. Anyone have any further information or insights? - Logan |

I've never seen frozen limas, either baby or Fordhook, for over $2.50/lb. $4 a pound is shocking. I usually get the regular Fordhook limas since I find the baby ones kind of tasteless and mushy. Here in my part of the midwest, they're on sale once or twice a year for $1/bag. We love them so I usually buy ten bags when they're on sale. In the garden, we usually plant pole limas since they are a long-season crop. They usually do well but last year, with the drought, ours failed and the deer managed to overcome our defense system. For growing, I recommend the Christmas/speckled pole variety and sturdy tripods at lest 6 feet high. We'd had very good luck with that one. We like ours plain with just butter or mixed with corn cut off the cob (especially grilled corn). Just a tiny bit of bacon added during cooking gives them a lot of flavor. Fresh limas, right out of the garden, are just fabulous. Emma |

Lima beans are slightly more expensive than some other beans because their pods contain slightly fewer beans on average than say pinto beans... that said dried limas don't cost more than most dried beans. Fresh frozen limas are expensive but so would any fresh frozen bean be just as expensive, which is why therre is a very limited selection of fresh frozen beans. Beans being high in protein they are more apt to freezer burn than other frozen veggies... and frozen limas are not very popular anyway so they don't sell well and so they spoil, and so those who buy them pay for the waste. If price is a concern then use dried... all canned beans are made from dried. And butter bean is just another name for lima bean. But lima beans and baby lima beans are indeed different beans.

If you're going to cook them you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between fresh picked and fresh frozen, in fact it can't be done. The only way to appreciate fresh picked beans of any type is to eat them raw, in salads or marinated. Except for some ethnic markets you won't usually find fresh hull beans in the produce section simply because few people are going to eat raw fresh beans. Most people will only eat them cooked, so they may as well buy fresh frozen. Sheldon |

For correct bean information go he http://www.americanbean.org And he lima bean [LY-muh] This New World bean was named for Lima, Peru, where it was found as early as 1500. There are two distinct varieties of lima - the Fordhook and the baby lima (and Fordhooks are not adult baby limas). Both are pale green, plump-bodied and have a slight kidney-shape curve. The Fordhook is larger and plumper than the baby lima. It also has a fuller flavor than its smaller relative. Fresh limas are available from June to September. They're usually sold in their pods, which should be plump, firm and dark green. The pods can be refrigerated in a plastic bag for up to a week. They should be shelled just before using. Frozen lima beans are available year-round and are labeled according to variety (Fordhook or baby). Canned and dried limas are usually labeled "jumbo," "large" or "small," a designation that relates to size and not variety. In the South, dried limas are frequently referred to as butter beans . When mottled with purple they're called calico or speckled butter beans . A traditional way to serve limas is with corn in SUCCOTASH. They're also used alone as a side dish, in soups and sometimes in salads. Lima beans contain a good amount of protein, phosphorus, potassium and iron. The lima is also called the Madagascar bean .

It was surprisingly easy but I was doing it for a science experiment which required me to dissect the beans to show how the shoots would eventually come up to sprout flowers and then make new plants. If a 9 year old can do it, you can. Provided you have the right soil, I guess. And before you ask, I didn't do anything more than water the tiny plants and wait for the beans to appear on the plants. I never added any sort of fertilizer; nothing like that. I was a curious kid. I just checked my plants every day and made sure they were okay. They were. On a larger scale I'm sure you'd have more to think about. You can do a lot with lima beans if you like them. Add them to soups and stews. Dry them for later use. Or just briefly boil or steam them and serve them with butter. Maybe some grated cheese. I've never gotten fancy with lima beans. Jill |

Try making a soup with lima beans (I used dried one soaked overnigth)
using onions and amy be garlic too. Then add dill (fresh one) just before removing the heat. I made it once only ...that's only because I hate peeling the skin. I don't like to eat the skin on lima beans .. |

This is the kind of stuff we ate often when growing up, I grew up by the Mississippi in Illinois so at times we had lotsa catfish, smoked sturgeon, river/lake perch, carp, plus whatever we had from the garden (I remember being a real tiny kid and eating fried rabbit and squirrel that my older brothers had hunted). Now this kind of stuff can be seen on big - city fancy resto menus, it's "deconstructed" and then reconstructed (more often than not it's more like "misconstrued") as "American Classic Cuisine" and served at 20++ bucks per plate (and a miniscule portion to boot). When I was a kid nobody told us it was "poor food"... Gawd I cringe when I see morel mushrooms in the stupormarket here in Chicawgo for $39.95/lb, when I was a kid we'd pick gunnysacks full and we gave most away, if you had charged for them you would have been dragged off and committed to the County Home... :-) -- Best Greg |

Some people are sensitive to the small amounts of cyanogenic glucosides in domestic lima beans and cannot eat them. Cooking removes most of these toxic compounds. Lima beans, including sprouted limas, probably should not be eaten raw |

I often dry the large bunches I get at the asian market and store in a jar. I use them on just about any steamed veggie as well as grilled fish and sauteed shrimps. Take 1 lb. of peeled and deveined shrimp and toss into a skillet in a mix of hot butter and olive oil. Add a light sprinkling of garlic powder, a generous amount of dried (or fresh) dill weed and a bit of salt free lemon pepper. Stir gently until all of the shrimp is pink. Serve over steamed veggies, pasta, or rice. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson |

Boiled a pound package worth of frozen ones in chicken soup. Suprised
that I didn't toot too much. Don't know if limas are less gasy or if it's because frozen is less gasy than canned beans. |

I like Lima beans with cottage cheese on the side. Doesn't need much dressing up - just a touch of salt on both and some black pepper on the cottage cheese.
