Butter Beans

Question

I am going to try to grow butter beans for the first time. Can I use the same beans that I buy in the grocery that I cook?

Answer 1

It is possible to grow store-bought butter beans; however, these need to be the dry beans and not those purchased from cans. Soak them in water for a few hours and then sprout them in a jar with a wet paper towel, before planting them.
