How to store lima beans?

Описание: How to store lima beans? Do they need to be refrigerated, or can I leave them at room temperature, like black beans? Can they be frozen to last longer? In this video, we bring some tips on how to store lima beans to prevent them from spoiling too quickly.

Tips for storing lima beans
When lima beans are raw and dry, they are the same as black beans, butter beans, or others; they can be kept at room temperature, in a dry, dark, and cool place. If the bag of raw beans has already been opened, store them inside a well-sealed airtight container to avoid the risk of insects appearing.

At room temperature, raw lima beans can last for two to three years without spoiling. This doesn't mean they have spoiled after this time, but they do start to lose their properties.

Cooked lima beans must be stored under refrigeration in the fridge, as they spoil quickly at room temperature. Never leave them for more than two hours at room temperature, as the risk of harmful bacteria spreading is high. If where you live is warmer than 32ºC, do not leave them for more than one hour.

In the refrigerator, cooked lima beans will last for about five days without going sour. They should be stored in an airtight container.
