Lima Bean and the Vegetarian Diet
Lima beans, also known as butter beans, are a type of legume native to Central and South America. They are large, flat beans with a slightly nutty flavor and are often used in soups, stews, and salads. While they are a good source of protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals, they are also high in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), which can cause digestive issues in some individuals.
