Butter beans (canned drained)

Butter beans are large, flat, pale legumes with a smooth, buttery texture once cooked, closely related to lima beans. They are used in stews, casseroles, and salads, holding their shape well after cooking while becoming creamy in texture. Dried beans require soaking, while canned versions are ready to use.

Once drained of its canning liquid, this ingredient weighs less per cup than it does undrained, though usually more than the dried, unsoaked form.
