Lima Beans originated in Peru more than 7,000 years ago.  Also known as butter beans because of their butter texture, lima beans are a great source of the trace mineral molybdenum which is key for detoxifying sulfites and helping lower the risk of heart attacks and lowering cholesterol.  Lima beans are virtually fat free and help prevent blood sugar levels from rising rapidly which is ideal for people with diabetes.  They are also high in iron, folate, protein, potassium, copper, phosphorus, magnesium and thiamin (vitamin B1).  The best way to enjoy Hanover Lima beans is straight from the bag.  They also make a great side dish, tossed with salads, or blended into soups and other recipes.  The important thing is that you eat them for better health.  They are one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet.
