Lima Beans?

Hi All

Are lima beans (big and small) toxic. I bought a bag of 16 bean soup mix and I don't know if I should be picking all the lima beans out - lol.

Thanks

Not toxic but I don't use them since they're very strong on the gi system. If you can, you can pick them out but a couple wont hurt.

Make sure to do the soak and rinse method or the twice cooking method so the really strong gassy water is rinsed out from the first soak or cooking.
