Bok choy (Chinese cabbage) is a nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable popular in Asian cuisine. Exceptionally high in vitamins A, C, and K with good calcium content, it cooks quickly and adds mild, sweet flavor to stir-fries and soups.
Baby bok choy is harvested earlier and has a more tender texture and milder, sweeter flavor. Regular bok choy has larger, more fibrous stalks and stronger flavor. Both are prepared similarly.
Yes! Unlike spinach, bok choy is low in oxalates, so its calcium is highly bioavailable - about 50-60% absorption compared to 30% for milk. It's an excellent plant-based calcium source.
Store unwashed bok choy in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Baby bok choy keeps slightly longer. Wash thoroughly as dirt collects between stems.
