5. Detoxification

Sulfites are a common preservative present in many wines and prepared foods like salads, dried fruits, and delicatessen products. Sulfites cause headache, rapid heartbeat, and disorientation in individuals who are sensitive to them. Lima beans are an excellent source of the trace mineral molybdenum, a key component of enzymes that detoxify sulfites and acetaldehyde, a potential carcinogen.
