論是綠豆湯、綠豆饌、綠豆冰沙、綠豆糕、綠豆薏仁，想要煮出口感綿密又有清香的綠豆美食，只有本土產綠豆才做得到。產地集中於嘉南平原的台南、嘉義等地。
綠豆原產於印度，馴化後傳至世界各地，台灣栽種綠豆的歷史頗早，清領時期康熙59年（1720年）完成的《台灣縣誌》已經有提到綠豆：「性涼能解毒。色綠，故名。磨粉如麵，名曰粉心，用以作糕餅甚佳。」
更早，在古籍《湘山野綠》中即有對宋真宗的記載：「真宗深念稼穡，聞占城稻耐旱、西天（今北印度地區）綠豆子多而粒大，各遣使以珍貨求其種。」
▋本土產粉綠豆豆香明顯，綿密、口感好
綠豆為蝶形花亞科豇豆屬植物，味甘性涼，能清熱去火。台灣的綠豆主要種植於嘉南平原，1970年代為裁種高峰。但由於採收費工耗時（主要依賴人工），加上進口綠豆極為便宜，如今台灣的綠豆改以進口為主。
本土產綠豆以外皮呈黃綠、顆粒相對較小的粉綠豆為主要品種，多以小農契作方式耕種。粉綠豆烹煮時間短、較易熟透，綿密沙沙的口感又好，而且豆香明顯，最適合直接烹煮享用。
