Butter beans are large, flat, pale beans, also sold as lima beans, prized for their creamy texture in stews, bakes, and salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of cooked, drained butter beans weighs around 180 grams or 6.35 ounces. When a recipe lists them in cups but you are working from a can, converting by weight keeps the bean ratio right.

A 400 g can drains to roughly 240 g of beans, a little over a cup, while recipes mix cups, grams, and cans. Weighing in grams keeps a casserole or salad consistent from batch to batch.
