The term "butter bean" is widely utilized for a large, flat and yellow/white variety of lima bean. They are a good source of dietay fiber, and a virtually fat-free source of high quality protein. They contain both soluble fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and lowers cholesterol, and insoluble fiber, which helps to prevent digestive disorders. Apart from providing slow-burning complex carbohydrates, these beans can increase energy levels by helping to restore more iron.
