  Butter Bean (legume)

 

Myanmar

These green pods are of a plant with the botanical name Phaseolus lunatus (fig.) and contain pale yellow, kidney-shaped seeds which are known as Butter Beans.

 

Though nutritious and a good source of dietary fiber with high-quality protein, the beans are toxic if consumed without boiling for at least 10 minutes.
