Natco Butter Beans, also commonly known as large white lima beans or haricots blancs, are a staple ingredient for wholesome, nutritious cooking. This bulk 2kg pack is ideal for large families, meal prepping, or catering. Known for their impressive size, these dried beans expand significantly when soaked and cooked, yielding a tender, meltingly soft texture with a delicate, nutty flavor profile.

Culinary Uses

Because they easily absorb the flavors of the spices and herbs they are cooked with, these butter beans are incredibly versatile. They are perfect for:

Stews & Casseroles: Adding rich texture to Mediterranean vegetable stews or Spanish fabada.
Soups: Thickening Italian minestrone or classic ham and bean soups.
Salads: Tossed cold with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs, and red onion.
Dips: Blended with garlic and olive oil as a creamy alternative to traditional hummus.

Preparation & Cooking Guide

Soaking: Soak the dried beans in plenty of cold water for a minimum of 12 hours, then rinse and drain thoroughly.
Boiling: Place soaked beans in a large pot, cover with fresh water, and bring to a rapid boil for 15 minutes (essential to remove natural toxins). Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 60 to 90 minutes or until perfectly tender.
Safety Note: Do not eat raw, and do not use a slow cooker unless the beans have been pre-boiled for the first 15 minutes.

Nutritional & Dietary Highlights

High Protein & Fiber: A great natural source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber to aid digestion and keep you full longer.
Naturally Vegan & Gluten-Free: Perfectly suited for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-restricted diets.
Allergy Advice: Packed in a factory that handles nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, wheat (gluten), soy, mustard, and celery.
