Consistently delicious

Received a set of two, 1 pound bags of lovely, large, unbroken beans. According to the package the U.S. company has been in business since 1923, non GMO product. I am anxious to make a beans and rice meal with these beautiful looking beans. The last time I looked for large limas in my grocery store, they were smallish, dull and broken.

I bought these a few weeks ago when they were still labeled, 'Gigantes'. When they arrived I was shocked to see they were 'large lima beans'. I checked amazon site and the name/language has been updated from Spanish, 'Gigantes' to 'Lima'. I would NEVER have ordered these if they had been labeled that initially. Since non returnable (really crumby btw), I cooked them this past weekend. ALL THE BEANS are DIFFERENT SIZES from small to extra large. A problem if you want the larger beans to cook, the small ones fall apart due to long/needed cook times. and they did. and then many MANY of the larger beans peeled and fell apart -- there were bean husks although the cooked pot, and I do know how to cook beans, so no blaming the cook here. The beans were cooked for a marinated salad but there was ZERO possibility for this since the majority broke down into mush/husks. I tasted them anyway - HORRIBLE, bitter, the worse. The taste, look, durability and overall quality of this product is AWFUL. DO NOT BUY. The second bag went straight into the trash, not even a feedback deserves this terrible product.

I haven't had time to cook these, but they look nice. Some items, the River ought to give me more time to check it out before asking for a review.

If you like lime beans you will love this.

They are pricey but are of good quality for making Greek beans. Gianis. They are creamier. And there isn't very much foam when you boil. That's the crud that comes off the beans.
