Any connection with Lima, Peru? — Lenoxus 01:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism/Pointless Links
Somebody had added that the Lima bean is of Indonesian origin along with its Mesoamerican origin, but it's not. Also I deleted the external link that went to the song, which does not contribute any information about the plant or food, and I deleted the link to the Spanish website, as this is the English section of Wikipedia.
==Butter Beans vs. Lima Beans The FDA has determined that "butter peas", commonly grown in the south, are Lima beans (http://www.ams.usda.gov/fv/ppbweb/manuals/frozenlimabeans.pdf). There seem to be a few varieties of Lima beans (http://ag.udel.edu/enwc/faculty/dmcaron/Pollination/limabeans.html). Here in the South, butter beans have subtly but distinctly different taste, color and texture than Lima (and baby Lima) beans. See this article for a more verbose explanation (http://sarasota.extension.ufl.edu/FCS/FlaFoodFare/Butter_Beans.htm)

[edit] Cyanide content
Doesn't this bean contain cyanide compounds? Badagnani 21:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Blanking of lunatus species synonym
The removal of the lunatus species synonym in this edit is not a good idea. Badagnani (talk) 01:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
