The way I grew up





I'm straight on how you grew up. I grew up the opposite. But really we're both right... or wrong. They are technically the same: Phaseolus lunatus. Here's how I view them.


Limas:



Butter beans:

I agree with the butter peas. Southside Produce has them frozen (he has the sheller I use) Buys them fresh, shells and freezes immediately. Damn those are good.

TIA- Eat a butter pea instead of butter bean and pretend the carbs aren't included.

And my fave is fresh pinkeye purplehulls. Though I really like 'em all, from crowders to zipper peas to Carolina red peas and lady cream peas.
