Green Giant Baby Lima Beans with Butter Sauce
What it is
These are tender baby lima beans that have been prepared and then coated in a savory butter sauce. They are sold frozen, which helps to preserve their texture and flavor until they are ready to be cooked. The beans are a good source of plant-based goodness and are a convenient way to add a vegetable to your meal.
How people cook with it
This product is designed for quick and easy preparation, making it a versatile addition to many meals.
- Side dish for dinner
- Added to casseroles
- Mixed into rice dishes
- Topping for baked potatoes
To prepare these lima beans, you can typically heat them on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop cooking, empty the contents into a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. If using the microwave, transfer the beans to a microwave-safe dish and heat according to package directions, stirring halfway through. The butter sauce will melt and coat the beans as they warm up, creating a rich and flavorful side.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain frozen lima beans, this product comes pre-seasoned with a butter sauce. This eliminates the need for additional butter or seasoning when cooking, offering a richer flavor profile right out of the package. The sauce also helps to keep the beans moist during heating.

How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover beans should be promptly refrigerated in a covered container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and reheated before serving. Ensure the beans are cooled completely before placing them in the refrigerator for optimal food safety.
