Lima Bean del Papa

Also known as the Pope's Bean, Christmas Bean, and the Chestnut Lima, this is truly a very special heirloom bean selection. The rich chestnut flavor and buttery texture allow del Papa to hold up well in stews, chili, and casseroles. The delightful mottled purple-red and cream coloring make a great statement in any dish. Origins are in Peru, but it comes to us by way of Italy, where it is a traditional bean. Even if you've never liked lima beans, this is one to try! TREATED
