Giant White is a large, flat, cream colored bean about 1 inch in length. This bean is similar to the Christmas Lima in length but slimmer in width. This Lima is also referred to as a butter, curry, Madagascar, lab, or Pole Beans, another reference is the Cape Pea. The Giant White Lima has creamy texture and a savory flavor. It is native to Central America. This bean found its way to Peru several millennia ago.
