Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled mature lima beans are recommended during pregnancy as a potassium- and folate-rich legume. They provide dietary fiber and plant protein that support blood pressure regulation and healthy digestion. The FDA warns that raw lima beans contain cyanogenic glycosides, meaning they must always be boiled uncovered until completely tender to eliminate natural compounds. Enjoy cooked lima beans tossed with olive oil and sweet corn.
