Dutch beans existed as early as 12000 years ago, and distributed in the border area between Thailand and Myanmar. In the17th century, the Dutch navigation industry was very developed, so they collected specialties from all over the world and sold them to all parts of the world, that is, for overseas trade. The Dutch found this bean in the south of China near Southeast Asia, so they always called it China bean.

But the reason why it is called Dutch bean in China is that the Dutch brought this bean from its place of origin to China, so it has always been called Dutch bean. Now you know, Dutch bean is not produced in the Netherlands. However, the requirements for living conditions are not high. Now, it has spread all over the world, and many hybrid varieties have been produced, which has become a very common vegetable.

/kloc-In the 7th century, the Dutch ruled Taiwan Province and Nanyang Islands in Southeast Asia with their powerful maritime fleet, bringing all kinds of exotic goods from all over the world, so local residents began to call them Dutch beans. Later, the Minnan people who went to the South Sea for a trip, Chaoshan people brought them back to their hometown, and they also used the local name, calling peas Dutch beans.

It turns out that "Dutch bean" originated from southern China earlier, so it has the name "China bean" in Holland and other places. On some transnational online trading platforms, most Chinese-made "Dutch bean" is also translated into "Chinese snow pea" (China Snow Pea). However, the "Dutch bean" sold in many supermarkets is an improved variety obtained by crossing two kinds of peas by Americans. It tastes sweet and can be eaten raw directly. Where the name "Dutch bean" comes from can only be speculated. It should be that the Dutch vegetable breeding is relatively strong, so it is linked together, but it has nothing to do with the Dutch.

It is also said that "Dutch bean" is called "China bean" in Holland, which is just modesty and humor of both sides. It doesn't mean anything.
