Turmeric spiced butter beans
Most people in the UK don’t eat anywhere near enough fibre leading to poor digestive health, heart disease and cancer. Butter beans (also known as lima beans) are a fantastic source of fibre, with one serving providing you with half the recommended daily intake. I love this recipe for breakfast but you could equally enjoy it as a side dish or served on toast for lunch.
