RESPECT DAY FOR NATIONAL LIMA BEAN RESPECT DAY.

First, it's vital to sort the beans and discard any wrinkled or cracked beans. Place the beans in a large bowl and top them with three times as much water as you have beans. If any beans float to the top, immediately discard them, as well. Soak the remaining beans overnight.
The beans are rinse and rinsed three times on the next day. You want your water to flow clear. Place the beans in a heavy saucepan and cover with fresh water. Bring the water to a boil and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender. You can add them to other dishes and enjoy them.
