Lima beans, also known as butter beans, are a type of bean that has a flat shape and a light yellow color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very popular in the United States and Europe, but is still little known here in Brazil.

It even became a very popular food in some regions of Italy, especially Naples, where it is known as \"fagioli di Lima\".
