I love vegetables and I like trying different brands of canned vegetables. I recently purchased a can of Del Monte Green Lima Beans at my local grocery store. I wanted to see if these lima beans were tasty! Here is what I discovered!
Del Monte Green Lima Beans cost around one dollar for a fifteen and one fourth ounce can. I purchased these lima beans at my local Harvey’s grocery store. The price was not fantastic but, it was an average bargain for a name brand canned vegetable item. This product was located in the canned vegetable section of the grocery store. The statement on the front of the can intrigued me. It stated that these lima beans were guaranteed picked fresh and fresh packed! That was encouraging. This particular brand of Del Monte Green Lima Beans is part of Del Monte’s made with fresh cut specialties series of products. All of those facts sounded good to me! The label on this product is really nice. It has lots of green lima beans, lima bean hulls and leaves arranged in a pretty pattern around the can. The label also states that there is an easy recipe on the back of the can. That was great and an added bonus to this product, in my opinion. The recipe did look fantastic, though I did not try it.
The preparation of Del Monte Green Lima Beans is very easy! I chose the microwave version. I just emptied the contents of the can into a microwave safe dish, covered and heated for a few minutes. The directions say to season according to your taste, stir then serve. I put a bit of butter, onion salt, salt and pepper in my dish of lima beans. This product tasted very good. The lima beans were perfect in size, color and texture. I could tell that they were fresh. The only thing that I did not like about this product was the fact that these lima beans almost tasted too green. They were very firm. They are also small lima beans. Still, the overall quality and taste was good. I seasoned the next bowl of these lima beans with bacon and that helped the taste of this product tremendously!

Del Monte Green Lima Beans contain lima beans, water, salt for flavor and calcium chloride. This product is distributed by Del Monte Foods located in San Francisco, CA. This product is packed in the U. S. A. and I found this product to be of outstanding quality! I rate Del Monte Green Lima Beans four stars out of five stars and will be buying this product again. I think it will be very good in recipes and probably will taste best that way.
