Rancho Gordo - Large White Lima Bean

DESCRIPTION Large, new-crop, fast cooking Lima beans with classic Lima bean taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Lima beans have a creamy texture and savory flavor and they taste more like fresh vegetables than other beans. Good, new crop Limas (like ours!) are worthy of your attention, especially if you grew up eating those nasty frozen beans, under pressure from your dear old mom. Chances are she overcooked them. The origin of Lima beans is thought to be Peru (hence the name Lima). White lima beans are popular in the Southern U.S.

Rancho Gordo was founded in 2001 by Steve Sando in Napa, California, with a mission to preserve and promote heirloom bean varieties that were disappearing from American agriculture. We carry Rancho Gordo because they represent the quality and character we look for in everything at The Ambrosian Pantry.

Pairs with: Soups, stews, salads, chili, or as a hearty side dish.
Perfect for: Plant-based protein seekers, heirloom ingredient enthusiasts, and home cooks building a quality pantry. Stocked at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver, where we specialize in extraordinary products from producers who do things the right way. Order at theambrosianpantry.com.
