Sadaf Lima Beans, 581gr

باقلا صدف — ۵۸۱ گرم

Sadaf Lima Beans (baqla — lima beans) are premium large dried lima beans — pale, flat, and generously sized, with an exceptionally creamy, smooth, and buttery interior texture after cooking, a mild, gently starchy flavour that absorbs the character of surrounding ingredients readily, and a satisfying density that makes them one of the most hearty and filling legumes in everyday pantry cooking. Lima beans (also known as butter beans for their characteristic rich, velvety, and almost dairy-like creaminess when fully cooked) are a large, flat bean variety with a thin, delicate skin that cooks to a tender, yielding texture without becoming mushy when handled carefully — making them well-suited to preparations where a whole, intact, and visually generous bean is desired alongside a deeply flavoured cooking liquid, broth, or sauce. While not a traditional Persian pantry staple in the way kidney beans, white beans, or lentils are, lima beans have been enthusiastically adopted in Iranian-Canadian and Iranian-American households that cook broadly across traditions, and their large size, creamy texture, and mild, receptive flavour profile make them a natural and intuitive fit in Persian and Middle Eastern-inspired stews, herb soups, and braised bean preparations. Lima beans are particularly well-suited to preparations with bold, assertive aromatics — garlic, onion, fresh herbs, lemon — where their creamy, mild interior absorbs and reflects the flavours of the surrounding sauce completely. Soak overnight before cooking. Sadaf delivers trusted, consistent quality. The 581gr bag is a generous and practical everyday size.

Soak overnight in cold water, drain, and simmer gently in fresh water until completely tender — lima beans are delicate and will break apart if boiled too vigorously; simmer rather than boil for the best whole-bean result, braise slowly with garlic, olive oil, tomato, onion, and fresh or dried herbs for a warmly savoury, Mediterranean-style braised butter bean dish — the beans absorb the olive oil and tomato broth beautifully and develop a deeply satisfying richness, season with turmeric, onion, garlic, and lemon and slow-cook with lamb or chicken for a Middle Eastern-inspired creamy white bean and meat stew with Persian spicing, dress cooked and cooled lima beans generously with olive oil, lemon, garlic, fresh parsley, and sumac for a creamy, substantial Middle Eastern butter bean salad served as meze, mash or partially blend cooked lima beans with roasted garlic, olive oil, and lemon for a smooth, creamy, hummus-adjacent butter bean dip for flatbread and vegetable dipping, add to hearty vegetable and herb soups alongside other legumes for a protein-rich, creamy-textured bean that thickens the broth naturally as it softens, or combine with sautéed onion, garlic, fresh dill, and lemon for a simple, fragrant herb and butter bean preparation in the spirit of Persian herb-forward legume dishes. Creamy, buttery, and generously sized — the large flat bean for hearty stews, herb soups, and bold meze salads.
