i eat the packaged fava beans sold in australian supermarkets as "broad beans". they don't sell frozen lima beans here. i would actually prefer lima beans...
i only eat a 1/2 a cup or so. i microwave them and then toss them in salt and butter. i have them beside my salad or in my salad.
they seemed to be ok for my BGL before i switched to insulin. now that i am using insulin i just add them into my already low carb count.
