Dried lima beans are very hard, like little rocks, so you’ll have to soak them in cold water overnight to soften them. After soaking them, you can peel off the skins with your fingers before cooking. The beans will pop out easily. I often use lima beans in recipes that call for beans: I like their beautiful white color and the fact that they are large so I can peel them easily after they’re soaked.
I also like the texture. They are especially delicious when used as a sweet white filling for pastry.
