Lima Beans 1 article

Lima beans, often called butter beans, are flat, broad legumes sold in pale green or white forms and in both large and baby sizes. Their soft, creamy texture works in succotash, soups, simple side dishes, and mixed vegetable preparations, and the beans are available fresh or frozen, canned, and dried. The seeds are removed from their pods before eating. Their broad flattened shape and buttery texture distinguish them from smaller round white beans such as navy or Great Northern beans.
