- www.southernfrugal.com Lima beans have 7-8 grams of protein per 1/4 cup of dried beans. If you eat a cup of cooked beans it would certainly equal the protein in a meat product. They are loaded with many nutrients and lots of fiber. So very healthy.

When I cook my white limas I still go back for Ole Times watching this Sweet Lady and say again "Thanks for the Memories Phyllis" I know you are cooking in Heaven.
Thank you for watching my video on lima beans. I just pick off the skins that come lose on their own and leave the rest. Cooking them on just simmer should keep the skins on otherwise you'll just have a cream type soup.
Remember the package the beans come in says to cook them on low, usually. I love lima beans they are my favorite dried bean and have as much protein as peanut butter. Hope this helps, Phyllis
must be I cooked mine too high, they turned to mush after 1/2 hour. I keep trying to perfect this as I love Lima beans :)
Tks for info
🙏
I come here EVERYTIME i cook beans, thank u sister
Thanks so much for this simple recipe. My mom used to cook these Lima Beans, she called them "Butter Beans" when I was a child and I loved them so much. Recently I was looking for a way to cook them without the meat she used to use. I've cooked them many times and jazzed them up with onion, garlic, seasoning salt, Mrs Dash etc only to not like them that way. The other day I threw some Butter Beans in a crock pot and added a dash of seasoning salt. I loved them! It seems for me, this bean tastes better when it is cooked in a simple manner.
Very good method and well done. My Bigmama would add a pinch of baking soda like you did, help with gas, but now I realize it was for softening, too. My grandparents and parents grew up poor in the south. But they ate very good dishes. We ate the limas OVER rice, plenty of gravy and a great side dish ! Thanks.
great beans.. my grandfather used to make them like that brought back a lot of good memories thank you
Thanks Phyllis, I am putting these on this rainy morning in Mobile. Yumm Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you Miss Phyllis. I have been trying to figure out how to cook the beans without having so much gas on them. I love all beans .. at least all the ones I've tried. I grew up with my grandparents and I grew up on beans , taters, cornbread etc. I'm gonna get back to eating like that. God bless you and your family.
Love your details. It can make a big difference. Thanks Phyllis, you are a dear.
Thanks -great video. It really helped me to understand how to manage these beans. I had a couple of disasters and almost gave up but after seeing this video I tried again and am so happy they came out ok with your method. And it's easy. thanks again
Very helpful and instructive. I've never cooked lima beans ( or butter beans) . Going to give it a try - thanks.
Great video and commentary. I was a afraid to make this but your video is pretty much straight forward. Thank you
Thanks Phyllis, my sister just dropped off a bag of dry lima beans. I wondered how to turn it into food. That looks pretty good.
Wonderful instructions and great meal combination!! Thanks.
Really liked your comment. If you only knew how much I missed eating fried fatback with these lima beans. I can taste it now sooooo good. If I ate like that now I would be as big as the side of the barn. You really do get use to not using meat to season vegetables. It was really hard to make the switch to more healthy seasoning, we made that switch about 20 years ago but I still would love to have a piece of fried fatback inside a hot biscuit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much Phyllis! Love the baking soda tip. Do you have a recipe book out yet?
Thank goodness this video is still up. This is just what I was looking for
Thank you for nice explanation of all the aspects of cooking Lima beans.
Miss you Phyllis. ❤
I am soaking my limas right now and just looking for a new ideas for the cooking process..I will try the baking soda you suggested. Thank you!
Thank you Platinumy Dice, what a nice comment. Phyllis
great you answered my question about how to cook butter beans so they are not chewy your method is good and they turned out delicious
Thanks a lot Phyllis, great video.
ur amazing, ur family is lucky to have u for a cook !
we miss you lady R.I.P.
For simple advice ur helpful for alot of recipes. Thx
Nice and concise. I learnt how now and can add corn kernels with butter to make Aunt Mildred's succotash - a favorite. Thanks.
LOVE IT, SUCH A GREAT MEAL, SPECIALLY WHEN IT'S SO COLD HERE N CAROLINA!! YUM!
Thanks, Phyllis, didn't how to prepare them to be gasless. Had no idea. I think the Butter bean aka the large lima bean is the most delicious bean in the world. I just love a little real butter and soul food seasoning on a bowl full.
Hi Mrs. stokes
Would you have a Lima bean soup recipe? if so can you make a video of “how to”. I’ve made lots of your recipes and they all have been “perfection”!. Everyone I’ve shared them with love them, especially my uncles born in the 50’s 😊. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of cooking and foods. God Bless you and Mr. Stokes💕
Thank you Phyllis! I am comfortable cooking other dried beans, but I ran into an issue with Lima beans busting open and wrinkling when I soaked them overnight. Thank you for the baking soda and double rinsing tip. I'm about to try your method.
How did it go?
@@MrWyvyrn how did it go?
@@MrWyvyrn a lot of time if it’s been years, some of these ppl have died so they won’t respond
That meal looks delicious
RIP dear Phyllis. I'm making lima beans today.
She died?
@@abyss104 Sadly, yes. Mr. Bucky died first and she died about a year later.
Hi Phyllis! Awesome meal!
Everytime I soak Lima Beans they wrinkle & split. Yours are perfect! I want that!!!! I saw in the comments you said baking soda....? Would you mind covering that again? Big hugs ❣️ Thank you! From So. Cal. USA. ♥️
That's why I've been gassy all my life from eating not rinsed beans???
@GooseEgg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️
You’re amazing. Thank you so much 💗

I surely miss you!!
Thank You Mrs.Phyllis, Imma Cook Me Some Up "Right Now,...RIGHT NOW!!"*
Looks delicious wow🤔
This looks like a perfectly balanced meal. I've really enjoyed your recipe and I've decided to subscribe. You mentioned biscuit bread... I've never heard of it. How do you make it? Thank You!
Right now I can't think what I meant by biscuit bread other than using the dough spread out on a pizza pan and baked all in one piece.
Miracles Happen it’s called corn bread ! 🤦🏽♀️
Miss you don't stop making these videos
how do you handle all the skins of the beans that separate after the beans have soaked overnight. Had to remove them one at a time. ??
Thanks
Trying your way Phyllis >>>>While my lima's were soaking/simmering after the 2 minute boil ....in another pot on medium I cooked in water ....sliced carrots, onion, celery and diced ham. I also added large pieces of Ham Salt back for flavoring ....so good!!! Question, do you have to rinse limas after the second simmering to get the baking soda out!! Tonight, I suppose I will rinse limas again ....and then add the above veggies and the broth (removed Salt back pieces). I plan to simmer all for another hour until limas really soften and make a little bean gravy!
The baking soda stays in the water, no need to rinse the beans after the second simmering.
Thanks!
I'm finding that if I soak the dried beans (peas, rice, any other dried agricultural product) overnight or for a day, rinse them, then boil them on high heat for about an hour they cook in about an hour.
nice i was looking for this all over the web! Your the best youtube cooker I know!
WELL DONE!
dos it hurt if you can soak them the night before? i was awalys told you have to soak beans the night before. i was just not to sure if you could.
Lots of people soak their beans over night, it's perfectly okay.
I sure miss you Phyllis
Can't we pressure cook it, instead of boiling?
A nice poor mans healthy meal (if u don’t mind me saying so). 👍
With cornbread!!! OMG! BEST MEAL EVER!
T C that’s a perfect protein combination- legume +whole grain (corn)
I like em with Mayo , yup Mayo , a yankee taught me that back in 19 hundred and 74 , been eating them that way sense
Wondering if baking powder will work, I don't have baking soda
Does the skin suppose to come off while soaking?
I live in Cambodia and I found Australian lima beans in a supermarket and I decided to buy them. I soaked them overnight (maybe too long) but the peel started to come off by itself. Is that normal? I'm going to boil them next and then cook them with onions and potatoes...
The peeling or shell does tend to come off the large Lima beans. I actually like it when some of the shells come off because it gives the beans a lot of thickness. Some of the shells are going to always come off so no problem. You do have to be careful and watch the beans when cooking them because they can burn on the bottom of the pot because of the thickness. Those shells that come off can be picked out and thrown away.
I wish I would have followed your instructions to the T. I just messed up a pot of lima beans. the next time I know to listen
what's the difference between lima beans and butter beans or are they the same?
I think they are all in the lima bean family. Here in the South we call small green lima beans - butter beans, we also have speckled butter beans (my personal favorite if they are cooked fresh).
There's a newer video you made on how to cook pinto beans where you boiled and rinsed them three times before you cooked them. Should I do that for lima beans? I've found a warning online about lima beans beans being toxic if they're not cooked correctly and different instructions on how to cook them and confused now how to cook them. LOL
I only use the 3 boil technique on pinto beans, we don't seem to have a problem with any other type beans. I boil the Lima beans then let them sit in the water for about an hour, pour off that water and use fresh water to boil till tender. Can't imagine Lima beans being toxic in anyway.
@@PhyllisStokes I really like lima beans in turkey carcass soup made with fresh stringbeans and sometimes frozen corn.
Thank you so much. I bought some Lima beans and didn't know how to cook them.
Thank you so much! Looking forward to meeting you in heaven. I've used your method on beans and it works so well! Taste and otherwise 😆
Great video and i always wash my beans anyways
Did you ever see Ozark on Netflix you look like the actress Lisa Emery she plays Darlene.
I THOUGHT U ARE SUPPOSED TO SOAK YOUR DRIED BEANS THE NIGHT B4....SO IS THAT JUST AB OPTION. BCUZ I HAVE TURKEY WINGS IN MY CROCKPOT NOW THEN DECIDED I WANTED BEANS AND JUST STARTED SOAKING THEM. SO COULD I HAVE JUST WASHED THEM AND TOSSED THEM IN WITH MY TURKEY WINGS??? IT'S 11:57PM NOW...I MAY SLOW COOK IT ALL NIGHT SO I MAY JUST ADD THE BEANS IN THE MORNING ANYHOW.
i dont believe most people soak lima beans :)
or, maybe they do, but no one i know does, lol
Missing you phyllis 💕🌈
Do you have any succotash recipes?
Here's one of my video using succotash, it's not the same as what most people call succotash but it's how we made it. czcams.com/video/Uum4fIWySVk/video.html
THANK U ...IM COOKING 4 MY GMA😍😍😍
What makes you think there is anything wrong with broken beans?
+Howard Johnson My Mama taught me to throw them away - there's probably not a thing wrong with them.
Ah, that explains it.
Thank you so much for the response.
Sorta like the woman that cut off this much from the end of her ham before she put it in the oven.
I have always soaked mine over night, then pick the bad ones out, along with all the skins
What’s the total cooking time? Thx
On the video look at time 6:14 for how long to cook the beans.
Do you spank the bad beans?
Where's the bathroom here?
no garlic? No bay Leaf? no Pepper?
SHE CAN'T BE DEAD! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD!
Oh dear lady how I miss you! I'm gonna spend the rest of the evening re watching your videos! Just a good old Phyllis night in! But I know that you are looking down beside our lord in heaven! I hope you will cook in heaven! They will eat good!
Some are say if boiling after throu the water it vitamin is gong what u say
I cook the beans mainly for the protein and it's probably not going anywhere but in our stomachs.
no prob! :D
canola oil is bad for you, may as well be using engine oil. Thanks for the method tho :)
Can't believe ur eating beans alone like omg only salt omg WTF.... )
No! Not that green stuff!
yes I love this recipe for all natural lima beans, but canola oil?!? I Hate canada oil unless im frying something that needs to get really hot, like fried chicken or french fries. I always use olive, peanut or hollywood oil to eat .
sythlorde canola oil/vegetable/soybean oil is very bad for your health...please give it up. Use coconut oil, palm oil, organic lard/tallow (in some case olive oil if you are cooking at low heat). Eat like your mom and grandma use to eat! Remember there were no fat people in the 1920's 30's... Obesity and heart attacks started after corporations begin to use soybean oil/vegetable oil rather than coconut oil and lard.
duke of york lmao dont believe everything you read on the internet, get a book, go to school
I learned it in school, from a book. I have publish 3 papers on this topic. I can forward them to you if you like. You can also Read "The Oiling of America: How the Vegetable Oil Industry Demonized Nutritious Animal Fats and Destroyed the American Food Supply" Good luck, just passing along a little information. God bless.
I thought it was a science experiment for embryo lol.
Are you turning mr. Bucky into a vegetarian LOL. God bless you and mr. Bucky and the puppy's have a nice day there and a better tomorrow
I have never been able to turn Mr. Bucky into a vegetarian and heaven knows I have sure tried.
We compromised and eat vegan a couple days a week now, the rest of the time he's got to have his meat. He only gets 4 ounces of meat or animal protein per day the rest of the time.
Phyllis Stokes thanks for your video on cooking lima beans I'll try it that way next time. My mom used to cook lima beans and make it look so easy. But she's not around anymore. No she still alive she just lives 2 hours away.
Phyllis Stokes I was teasing you about the part of turning mr. Bucky into a vegetarian have a nice day and God bless the two of you and puppies as well
PEPPER.. pepper.. PEPPER.. pepper...
I don't card about tender I want done fast
No meat in the beans for seasoning 😢😢😢I'll pass
