About BUTTER BEANS
Kroger Butter Beans is a canned legume product sold under The Kroger Co.'s standard Kroger store brand. Butter beans is a common regional name for large lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus), particularly in the American South, referring to the same legume variety as lima beans but often implying a larger, more mature bean. This product contains pre-cooked canned butter beans in a lightly salted liquid.
The ingredient list is concise: prepared lima beans, water, and less than 2% each of sugar, salt, calcium chloride (a firming agent that helps maintain the beans' texture during canning and heat processing), and calcium disodium EDTA (a chelating agent added to promote color retention in canned legumes). The inclusion of calcium disodium EDTA is a standard additive in commercially canned vegetables and beans used to prevent metal-catalyzed oxidation that would otherwise cause color degradation. No artificial flavors or preservatives beyond EDTA are used.
Per 100g, this product provides 77 calories, 4.62 g of protein, 12.31 g of carbohydrates, 0.77 g of fat, and 3.8 g of dietary fiber.

They are a good plant-based protein and fiber source, suitable for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-fat dietary patterns. The product contains added salt and a small amount of sugar; consumers monitoring sodium intake should note the typical canned legume sodium content.
