After the Dutch peas arrived in China, the Dutch brought the "Snow peas" grown in China back to their hometown, so in the Netherlands and other places, they also have the name "Chinese beans". On some trading platforms, Chinese snow peas are also translated as "Chinese snow peas".

Let’s talk about the precautions when handling snow peas. Snow peas are beans and contain a lot of saponins and hemagglutinin. If it is not cooked thoroughly when eaten, poisoning will occur.
