What to know about lima beans
Lima beans (butter beans) are a high-FODMAP legume built on GOS, the fermentable fibre that makes beans gassy, and they also run high in salicylates, high in nickel and high in lectins while rating poorly for SIBO. There is a second reason to respect them: raw or undercooked lima beans contain natural cyanogenic compounds, so they must always be boiled thoroughly before eating.
Watch for
- High in GOS, the fermentable carbohydrate that causes the gas and bloating beans are known for
- High in salicylates, a trigger if you react to aspirin or salicylate-rich foods
- High in nickel and lectins, and poor for SIBO
- Never eat lima beans raw: they hold cyanogenic glycosides that thorough cooking breaks down
