Bean, lima, dried

Flat kidney shaped bean can be white or green, large or small. Popularly called butter bean. Produced in USA, South America and Madagascar, imported into Australia. Dried and uncooked.

The majority of nutrients including proximates, minerals and vitamins were derived from a composite sample of 6 purchases (2 each x McKenzies, Omega Foods and unbranded) of dried lima beans from supermarkets in SA in 1989 (AGAL, 1990). Cholesterol and retinol were imputed zero based on scientific literature. Folate and fatty acids were borrowed from USDA, reference 16071.
