Lima Bean or Butter Bean

Lima Beans Curry

The lima bean has a buttery flavor. No wonder why it has a butter bean tag too. It can be found in freezer section in US. One of the item, I like to store always in my freezer. When I am lazy enough and decided not to cut any vegetables. I run to my freezer stock up.
