butter bean
Pale Southern legume
Butter bean is a name for the lima bean, especially the larger, pale varieties with a creamy texture.
The term is more common in the American South, where butter beans often appear in traditional dishes: butter beans simmered with ham hocks.
Some distinguish butter beans from lima beans by size or maturity, though the terms are largely interchangeable.
