Dried baby butter beans are small, oval-shaped legumes with a smooth, creamy texture when cooked. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making them a versatile ingredient in soups, stews, salads, and casseroles. Once hydrated and cooked, they soften to a buttery consistency, offering a subtle richness to dishes. Their delicate taste pairs well with herbs, spices, and other vegetables, making them a popular choice in Southern and Mediterranean cuisines.
