? Many people are confused about peas and Dutch beans, will think that they are both the same substance, however, they are two different vegetables, there is a huge difference, now let's take a look together!

A, the difference between Dutch beans and peas

1, different varieties

We usually see a lot of Dutch beans, and many people also like to eat. Dutch beans were first grown in the border area of Thailand and Burma, and then from the origin of Dutch beans to China, so they are called Dutch beans. And in the Netherlands, Dutch beans are called Chinese beans, which may be a modest humor on both sides.

The Dutch beans we usually talk about are actually just a common name. The Dutch bean itself is a relatively large species, and the young peas we usually eat belong to the sweet pea. The other species is the lentil. These beans are small and not full. There is another type of Dutch bean that is used primarily for edible bean sprouts, which are eaten in restaurants primarily as a vegetable. From a botanical point of view, the Dutch pea also belongs to the pea genus, so it can be considered as a species of pea. It evolved from the common pea, but it is not the kind of pea we usually eat, let alone the tender pod pea.

Native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia, the pea is one of the world's most important cultivated crops, and the seeds, young pods, and shoots of the pea are all edible.

2, the appearance of different

No matter how long the peas grow, we can observe that the pea pods are still very soft, smooth and delicate, and the beans inside are not large. Their pods are flat, long and relatively wide. Although pea pods look similar to Dutch beans until they mature, the skin of the pea contains a lot of fiber. If you tear it off at one end by hand, there is a stem, and these must be removed before eating the young pods or they are difficult to chew and swallow.

Two, Dutch beans and peas

Dutch beans contain essential amino acids, dietary fiber, vitamin A and other nutrients, but also contains a unique phytoagglutinin, which enhances the body's metabolic function.

Peas are rich in plant proteins, which can improve the body's immunity. Moreover, peas are sweet and flat in nature and are known to calm chi, promote urination and detoxify sores.
