Bok Choy
Despite the very different appearance between cabbage and Bok Choy, they both belong to cruciferous vegetable family. Bok Choy is a dark green, low calorie vegetable that provides an excellence source of beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and is a good source of potassium and folate. Bok Choy also contains many phytonutrients including flavonoids. The stem of the Bok Choy has a crispy texture similar to celery without the tough fibers and a mild sweet flavor. It is great to incorporate into stir-fries and pairs well with mushrooms, carrots, scallions, tofu, chicken and ginger. Don’t forget to add a small amount of oil when cooking to help your body absorb the beneficial Beta-carotene and Vitamin K from the Bok Choy.
