Hi all!
Could you please help me with one word. I need to translate the word "lima bean" into Indonesian. Lima beans are broad flat beans simmered gently.
Thank you very much in advance!

kacang lima
Explanation:
Sepertinya cukup disebut sebagai kacang lima saja. Kalau kacang merah ternyata satu genus tapi berbeda spesies (Phaseolus vulgaris).
