I have a pot of Royal Corona beans on the stove with a 1/2 tsp of Mixteca Salt from Mexico. It's a salt for cooking and not a finishing salt. The label says it is harvested from ancient salt mines from evaporated spring water. It's supposed to help soften beans as it flavors them while cooking. I'll have to wait and see if that's true or not.
I order heirloom cooking beans from ranchogordo.com
They offer other products like cooking salt.

The beans turned out really good. I also added a thin sliced baking potato - a meal in one pot.
Royal Corona beans are a very large butterbean type bean. Grown years in Italy and now grown in Poland.
Saturday I watched Mind of a Chef on PBS. The chef is in N Carolina and cooks with local produce. She made butterbean burgers. What she called butterbeans here in Texas we call baby green lima beans.
Our butterbeans are the large cream colored lima beans. The ones I cooked today are the size of my thumb but tastier.

Rachel, I hadn't either. I added kale to the pot of beans. One of my favorite combos - beans & kale.

I will be interested to see how that goes, I've never heard of cooking salt before!
