Butter Beans

[Kim Shook]

I'm going to try to find fresh butter beans for Father's day dinner. If I do, and they are unshelled, how much should I buy to serve 12 people? I can't find anything about yield for unshelled butter beans!

1 cup shelled butter beans will be about 1 lb. unshelled beans. If you figure 1/2 cup = 1 serving, then 6 lbs. should do it? I might be off by a couple of numbers.

That's a lot of beans to go through...

Yes, it is. We might end up with corn, which was my choice if I couldn't find fresh butterbeans ! Thanks, Soba!
