Default The taste of lima beans

I've been looking for a translation of "lima beans" in French, and I
only found "haricots de lima" (yeah, surprise surprise, it's lima
beans!). Well, of course, since I finally found out they are
exclusively American (North and South). So I really don't know what
they taste like, and I can't try since they are not cultivated or sold
here. So, out of sheer curiosity, *what* do they taste like? If you
want to compare, I know fava beans, black beans, red beans, blackeyes,
split peas, green lentils, brown lentils, red lentils, chickpeas,
cannellini beans, Soisson white beans, string beans, green peas.
Thanks!
