The Christmas Lima Bean is an heirloom variety prized for its striking appearance and rich flavor. These large, flat beans are mottled with maroon and white, resembling festive holiday patterns. Maturing in about 75-90 days, the vigorous vines produce abundant pods filled with flavorful beans that have a chestnut-like taste. They thrive in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Christmas Lima Beans are versatile in the kitchen, perfect for soups, stews, and salads. They retain their shape and color when cooked, adding visual appeal to dishes. This variety is also valued for its high protein content and nutritional benefits.
