It's been my experience that any frozen lima bean of any kind pretty much
sucks. The bean skin is always too tough. I completely avoided lima beans
of any kind for decades until a friend introduced me to dried lima beans and
showed me how to cook them. Just boil in hot water at rolling boil till
done. No pre-soaking. The skins become a thin diaphonous whisper of a
skin, not tough and chewy as old rubber.
