Description
Pak Choi (also called Bok Choy) is, like many other traditional Chinese and Japanese cultivated plants, a spicy and easy-care cabbage. The thick and crispy stems are eaten together with the leaves. They can be prepared similar to chard, i.e. steamed and used as a vegetable garnish or directly raw as a salad. Especially young plants are very delicious. Fast-growing, easy cultivation.
