Canned Lima Beans

Once opened, transfer canned lima beans to a non-metalic container, cover, and refrigerate. They are best used within 3 days.

Rinse canned lima beans before using them to reduce sodium content and remove any 'tinny' flavor.

Add them to soups, stews, salads, or mash them into a dip.

Combine with corn and butter for a classic side dish.
