Description

Organic Butter Beans have a soft creamy texture and go well in salads.

Organic Butter Beans are large soft beans which go well in a whole host of recipes. They come from curved pods about 3 inches long and have been cultivated in Peru for over 7000 years. Their soft, floury texture makes them a great addition to stews, bean chilli and soups.

Organic butter beans can be added to recipes to provide additional protein, fibre and essential nutrients. They are a source of folate which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue – particularly important for those with hectic schedules.

Just one 70g serving of cooked butter beans is a source of Folate, Potassium and Manganese.

Due to their nutritional content butter beans make a filling addition to a meal and help to stave hunger cravings. The size and texture of butter beans makes them a lovely addition to bean or rice salads.

Family Tip:

We love butter beans as they have a wonderfully soft texture. This makes them a great choice for bean hummus – simply blend the cooked beans with roasted garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper.
Butter beans are a great addition to cold salads and are lovely with vinaigrette.
