Limas, also known as butter beans, are named after the city of Lima, Peru and are an ancient legume thought to be cultivated in North America around 1300s. Cream-colored, flat and kidney-shaped, large limas have a creamy texture and buttery flavor.

These heirloom beans are grown on 300 small-scale farms in the Snake River Canyon region of south central Idaho known as the Magic Valley Growing Area. The area's arid climate; rich, well-drained loamy soil; moderate temperatures and stable moisture level produce pure, distinctly flavorful beans, superior to common store-bought beans.

Today there are over 10,000 known varieties of heirloom beans and legumes that have been handed down from generation to generation.
