A word of warning: These are NOT the large, rich, and tasty Habas Grandes that Goya, for instance, calls Butter Beans.

These are small Petit Lima Beans with very little flavor. The texture is on the mushy side as well.

On the plus side, they mash more easily than a lot of beans if you want to use them to provide the body and bulk for patties or dumplings where spicing and other ingredients provide the flavor. That is the best use I have found for them.

Bottom line: I won't have any problems finishing the case I bought, but doubt I will buy these again.

This is a great product, healthy, low sodium, great taste... from the only manufacturer in the US which does not use cans lined with a Bisphenol A epoxy.
None of the other "Organic" suppliers bother to use packaging without BPA
Try their garbanzo beans and black beans as well!

Butter beans look like lima beans, but are sweeter and avoid the slime factor of canned limas. These beans are the best I have ever found--they are firm and well-cleaned, ready for use. I have an old Shaker recipe for a butter-bean-potato salad: I use a can of these beans, some boiled and diced red potatoes, and the corn cut from a fresh ear of corn. The dressing is mayonnaise, a little olive oil, and lemon juice, with salt and pepper. Eden makes it possible to do this recipe at any time with these hard-to-find beans. They're great!
