This thread reminded me of a story my dad told me. They were having a breakfast at his work, and one of the ladies there had never eaten gritsfaint: I know....weird, right?) so my dad asked her, "Would you like one grit or two?"
She had no clue what they were.

When I lived in VT, I had a very hard time finding them in grocery stores. And nobody sold lima beans up there either. WTF is up with that?!

Color, for one. Limas are green, butters are yellow/tan.

Ok, that's new to me... I've always seen them in cans, limas being green, butters being tan....
Ah, so what do I know. I'm just a computer geek.

I've seen that too. Maybe a marketing ploy to get us to buy both.

Also.During the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, lima beans were exported to the rest of the Americas and Europe, since the boxes of such goods had their place of origin labeled "Lima - Peru", the beans got named as such.
Both bush and pole (vine) varieties exist, the latter from one to four meters in height. The bush varieties mature earlier than the pole varieties. The pods are up to 15 cm long. The mature seeds are 1 to 3 cm long and oval to kidney shaped. In most varieties the seeds are quite flat, but in the "potato" varieties the shape approaches spherical. White seeds are common, but black, red, orange and variously mottled seeds are also known. The immature seeds are uniformly green.
The term butter bean is widely used for a large, flat, and white variety of lima bean (P. lunatus var. macrocarpus, or P. limensis[1]), however, in the Southern United States the Sieva type are traditionally called butter beans, also otherwise known as the Dixie or Henderson type. In that area, Lima beans and butter beans are seen as two distinct types of beans. In the United Kingdom, a "butter bean" is a dried bean which can be purchased either to re-hydrate (in the same manner as dried peas) or as canned (tinned) and ready to use. In culinary use, lima beans and butter beans are distinctly different, the former being small and green, the latter large and yellow.

I've got a pot of Jackson Wonders cooling off right now.......out of my garden............They take at least an hour to cook........unlike limas, which take 15 minutes......
