Do you count lima and green beans as a vegatable or count them as part of your 1/2 cup daily bean amount

Lima beans are a legume and get counted towards your beans.

Not that I eat lima beans with any amount of regularity, but I never would have thought of them as legumes.


Just one more instance of one person's question helping more than just themselves.

Yes, that is odd and even I had to look it up since I'm not a lima bean fan.
