![]() 'Jackson Wonder', 68 days (heirloom, seeds brown mottled with purple).'Henderson' / 'Thorogreen', 65 days ( heirloom).Closely related or synonymous names are listed on the same line. The seeds of the cultivars listed below are white unless otherwise noted. ![]() White seeds are common, but black, red, orange, and variously mottled seeds are also known. In most cultivars, the seeds are quite flat, but in the "potato" cultivars, the shape approaches spherical. The mature seeds are 1 to 3 cm (0.39 to 1.18 in) long and oval to kidney-shaped. The bush cultivars mature earlier than the pole cultivars. Cultivars īoth bush and pole ( vine) cultivars exist the latter range from 1 to 5 metres (3 ft 3 in to 16 ft 5 in) in height. The production of flowers and fruits usually ends between February and April. The first inflorescence is in October or November. Germination or budding occurs in June or July. In Oaxaca, Mexico, the main rainy season lasts from June to August and most of the above-ground parts die during dry season. ![]() In western New York State, baby lima bean production increased greatly from 2011 to 2015. Baby lima beans are planted in early June and harvested about 10–12 weeks later. In the U.S, it is a warm-season crop, grown mainly in Delaware and the mid-Atlantic region for processing and in the Midwest and California for dry beans. The wild variety is silvester and the domesticated one is lunatus. The lima bean is a domesticated species of economic and cultural importance worldwide, especially in Mexico. Dried beans are soaked overnight and pressure-cooked as ingredients in curries. In Spain, it is called garrofón, and constitutes one of the main ingredients of the famous Valencian paella. In areas where both are considered to be lima beans, the green variety may be labelled as "baby" (and less commonly "junior") limas. In culinary use there, lima beans and butter beans are distinct, the former being small and green, the latter large and yellow. In the United Kingdom and the United States, "butter beans" refers to either dried beans which can be purchased to rehydrate, or the canned variety which are ready to use. In that area, lima beans and butter beans are seen as two distinct types of beans, although they are the same species. In the United States Sieva-type beans are traditionally called butter beans, also otherwise known as the Dixie or Henderson type. The term "butter bean" is widely used in North and South Carolina for a large, flat and yellow/white variety of lima bean ( P. Despite the origin of the name, when referring to the bean, the word "lima" is generally pronounced differently from the Peruvian capital. During the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, lima beans were exported to the rest of the Americas and Europe, and since the boxes of such goods had their place of origin labeled " Lima, Peru", the beans got named as such. ![]() The Moche culture (1–800 CE) cultivated lima beans heavily and often depicted them in their art. The small-seeded (Sieva) type is found distributed from Mexico to Argentina, generally below 1,600 m (5,200 ft) above sea level, while the large-seeded wild form (lima type) is found distributed in the north of Peru, from 320 to 2,030 m (1,050 to 6,660 ft) above sea level. By around 1300, cultivation had spread north of the Rio Grande, and, in the 1500s, the plant began to be cultivated in the Old World. The Andes domestication took place around 2000 BC and produced a large-seeded variety (lima type), while the second, taking place in Mesoamerica around 800 AD, produced a small-seeded variety (Sieva type). They were discovered in Peru and may have been the first plant that was brought up under civilization by the native farmers. The Mesoamerican lima bean is distributed in neotropical lowlands, while the other is found in the western Andes. Two gene pools of cultivated lima beans point to independent domestication events. Phaseolus lunatus is found in Meso- and South America. Phaseolus vexillatus Blanco, nom, illeg, non L.Ī lima bean ( Phaseolus lunatus), also commonly known as the butter bean, sieva bean, double bean or Madagascar bean is a legume grown for its edible seeds or beans. ![]()
