Lima

/ˈliːmə/ noun

Definition

a type of large, flat, pale green bean; also the capital city of Peru

Etymology

Named after Lima, Peru, though the beans actually originated in South America and were cultivated by the Incas

Kelly Says

Lima beans got their name from Peru's capital, but here's the twist - they were already being grown there for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived!
