Dutch bean itself is an exotic species, not native to China, but it is not produced in the Netherlands. Then many people will wonder how this name named after the Netherlands came from. This will start from the17th century. At that time, Holland was very famous in navigation and business. They are good at collecting specialties from all over the world and then selling them all over the world. At that time, they were the top leaders of maritime trade. So China first got Dutch beans from Dutch merchant ships. At that time, Dutch traders imported from Thailand near Myanmar and sold them to China. At that time, China directly named them Dutch beans, because they were bought from the Dutch. It looks really casual now.
In the Netherlands, the reason why this product is called China bean is even more interesting. So far, there are two different opinions. The first way is a tactic of mutual compliment. We call it Dutch beans, but the Dutch are embarrassed. After all, they didn't produce it, so they called it China bean. The second reason is that the planting conditions of Dutch beans themselves are not complicated. After being introduced into China, they grow and develop well and are widely propagated by farmers in China. Originally an imported product, it was abruptly exported by China. Over time, people acquiesced that this kind of bean was made in China, so it was called China bean.
To sum up, the name of Dutch bean in China still means to commemorate the Dutch people's introduction of this food into China, while it is called China bean abroad because of its yield and quality. But then again, friends who love peas must pay attention. Be sure to cook thoroughly before eating, otherwise there is a certain chance of food poisoning.
