1. Introduction to Butter Beans

Butter Beans (Đậu Ngự), also known as Lima Beans, are considered the “royalty” of the legume family in Vietnam. Historically served to royalty for their exceptional nutritional value and exquisite taste, these beans are now a premium export product.

At Vinahugo, our butter beans are grown in the highland regions and fertile valleys of Vietnam. They are easily recognized by their large, plump size and beautiful white skin (often with maroon or purple speckles). True to their name, they have a remarkably creamy, “buttery” texture and a rich, savory flavor that elevates any dish.
