Botanical Essence offers premium White Lima Bean Protein, a high-purity plant-based protein extracted from non-GMO lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus). Sourced from carefully selected growing regions, this clean-label ingredient delivers exceptional nutritional value and functional performance for manufacturers in the dietary supplement, functional food, nutraceutical, and animal nutrition industries.
Product Overview
White Lima Bean Protein is a premium-grade, off-white powder produced through advanced extraction and isolation processes that preserve the bean’s natural nutrients while achieving a minimum 80% protein content. Rich in dietary fiber, essential minerals, and high-quality plant protein, it serves as an ideal ingredient for blood sugar management formulations, heart-healthy products, and clean-label meal replacement solutions.
As consumer demand for sustainable, plant-derived proteins continues to grow, White Lima Bean Protein stands out for its excellent digestibility, neutral flavor profile, and remarkable functional benefits — particularly in managing postprandial glucose response and supporting metabolic health.
Key Features & Benefits
Nutritional Superiority
- Minimum 80% protein content
- High dietary fiber, naturally low in fat and cholesterol
- Rich in folate, magnesium, manganese, iron, and molybdenum
Metabolic Health Support
White Lima Bean Protein is particularly valued for its ability to moderate blood glucose spikes after carbohydrate-rich meals. Its high soluble fiber content forms a natural gel matrix in the digestive tract, slowing carbohydrate digestion and promoting stable energy release. This makes it an excellent ingredient for diabetic-friendly formulas and products targeting insulin-resistant individuals.
Cardiovascular Benefits
The combination of soluble fiber, folate, and magnesium contributes to heart health by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels, supporting normal homocysteine metabolism, and promoting vascular relaxation through natural calcium channel blocking activity of magnesium.
Detoxification Support
Lima beans naturally contain molybdenum, a critical cofactor for sulfite oxidase — the enzyme responsible for detoxifying sulfites commonly used as food preservatives. This gives the ingredient added value in sensitive populations.
Iron and Energy Metabolism
As an excellent source of plant-based iron and manganese, White Lima Bean Protein supports oxygen transport, energy production, and antioxidant enzyme systems, making it especially beneficial for women of childbearing age and active individuals.
Production Process & Quality Assurance
At Botanical Essence, we implement rigorous raw material selection, advanced purification technology, and strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Our White Lima Bean Protein is produced in GMP-certified facilities under HACCP and ISO management systems.
