Bean, Lima/Bush - Thorogreen
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/1562/products/700x300.jpg?v=1401340858)
The Thorogreen Lima Bean is a high-yielding heirloom that loves higher temperatures. Plump, light green pods grow at the top of a compact plant for easy harvesting. Both fresh and dried beans have a smooth, buttery flavor. When eating fresh, be sure to cook them, as raw beans are toxic. This compact bush-type plant spreads wider than green beans, so give them room to grow.
