Albert Heijn Limabonen (Lima beans)

Albert Heijn Limabonen, also known as butter beans, are a staple private-label product offered by the Netherlands' largest supermarket chain. These beans are prized for their creamy texture and high nutritional value, typically containing only lima beans and water with no added salt or sugar. As an own-brand product of a major retailer, the source of the raw materials and the canning process may involve multiple countries depending on seasonal availability and supplier contracts, though it is distributed primarily in the Dutch and Belgian markets.

The brand has a rich history dating back to 1887, when its namesake founder, Albert Heijn Sr., took over his father's grocery store in Oostzaan. Over more than a century, it evolved from a local shop into a national powerhouse and a pioneer in self-service retail. Today, Albert Heijn is a key pillar of the global retail group Ahold Delhaize, which was formed through a major merger in 2016. This ownership structure places the brand within a vast international network of grocery and e-commerce businesses headquartered in the Netherlands.
