These were perfect, and a brand I am familiar with. Now I have a good source for them.

Great tasting buttery beans in huge packages. I enjoyed them. I didn't follow the instructions exactly, but just made them as I normally make beans and they came out great.

These beans are just about perfection. They are firm yet tender and the flavor is exactly right. The large packages are easy to store and make a great addition to lots of meals. Thanks for a nearly perfect product.

Ordinarily, you have to pick through packages of lima beans and sort out the chipped, split and discolored ones. Not so with these ivory colored limas, all perfectly formed and unblemished. All you have to do is rinse.

I didn't soak them overnight as per instructed. Just soaked them in hot water for an hour, rinsed, and then cooked until done. They worked out fine and they make a very smooth, tasty bean.

There is a most interesting recipe on the packets called "Cool Lima Beans and Couscous Salad" which I can't wait to make. It requires olive oil, sherry vinegar, ground cumin, red and green bell peppers and other ingredients. The couscous they recommend is Golden. Bob's Red Mill also has this product. Yum!

These beans are natural and, of course, they are large. I'm going to make them a permanent staple in my home.

This are the nicest dry large limas I have ever seen. Definitely keeping them on subscription. The bags are big enough I get two pots of beans from each bag. The beans are clean and smooth, not broken up or dirty, I didn't have to pick them over at all. Made a delicious pot of bean soup with ham bone, onions garlic a little diced bacon, diced carrots, a little salt and water to cover. Didn't even have to soak the beans and the soup was done in about 90 min, thick, creamy and delicious. Not a bite was left. Highly recommend these! Nicer than any I've ever bought in the grocery store.

I was making the "Marinated Gigante Bean Salad with Shrimp" from Gwyneth Paltrow's Cookbook ("My Father's Daughter") and needed some large, white beans. I wanted to use the Gigante Beans from Navarro, but they're a bit pricey for a small jar. (I'll use those occasionally.) I found these as a nice alternative and I don't think I've ever seen them in stores?? I noticed someone said they're getting harder to find, so I'm glad to have gotten the bulk size. They worked out just fine in the recipe (quite good, in fact) and if I'm missing something by not getting the special beans from Navarro, from our local Spanish food specialty shop, I don't know it.
