Ancient City Triple Beans

Last updated 2026-11-12 — The Ancient City Triple Beans refer to three types of locally produced legumes: red beans, mung beans, and black beans. The local ecological environment is highly suitable for growing these minor grains, with an existing production base covering 50,000 mu and annual product sales of 5,000 tons. The flagship product of the Ancient City Triple Beans Industrialized Management Cooperative, the “Ganzhu” brand red beans, has been awarded the title of “Hebei Provincial Famous and Quality Product” for six consecutive sessions. In 2004, it was certified as Grade A Green Food by the national authority, and in 2006, it received the honor of “China Famous Agricultural Product.” These beans are popularly exported to Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and other countries and regions, and are also sold in supermarkets in major domestic cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shijiazhuang. Since 2007, the cooperative has collaborated with the Institute of Agro-Product Processing of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on the deep-processing project “Whole Red Bean Paste Powder,” which has been officially approved by the state. In addition, the project “Red Bean and Mung Bean New Variety Breeding and Demonstration,” developed in cooperation with the Minor Cereals and Legumes Research Office of the Hebei Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, has been included in the National Eleventh Five-Year Science and Technology Support Program.
