They're the "creamiest" in the bean world;) They are very similar to Lima beans- in fact some people think they're the same thing. They aren't quite, but are pretty interchangeable. You can buy them canned or dried. If dried, you need to soak them for 8 hours in a LOT of cold water (they soak it all up), and then simmer them for about an hour to an hour and a half. Then you can use them in all kinds of delicious things! Yes, you would love butter beans.

This looks amazing. Can you do a post on butter beans one day? I've had them before and loved them but I have no idea how to buy/cook them. Are they canned? Dry? Help! Yum! This looks amazing.
