Butter Bean Seeds

Description

Butter beans are similar in shape to regular green beans but they are naturally a creamy yellow colour. Butter beans are sometimes called snap beans because of the sound they make when pods are broken—they ‘snap’. The complete pod and seeds are eaten although the ends can be trimmed. In some countries the term ‘butter bean’ is used for a large, flat and yellow white variety of lima bean which is often dried or canned.
