español term

holan tao

español al inglés Otros Agricultura Peru
This is an agricultural product.

When I google it, I get "frijol chino" or "arveja china" as an equivalent. The problem is that "arvejas chinas" appear to be snow peas, while "frijoles chinos" appear to be bean sprouts. So which is it? Any Peruvians (or people who've live there) out there who could tell me?
Proposed translations (inglés)
3 +1 snow pea
2 mung bean

snow pea

I'm Peruvian and used to holantao, that's how we call it here.
It's a green pod and you eat it all, you don't open the pod to eat the peas inside, at least I have never seen anybody doing that since it's very flat pod and would be useless. Holantao is a common ingredient in chifa, the Peruvian way of cooking Chinese dishes.

Snow pea = he lan dou

mung bean

If it is frijol chino, I'd say it could be mung bean.

Note from asker:
I'd thought of this possibility, too, but I have no confirmation...
