What is Bok Choy?

what is bok choy?

You may be asking yourself, "What is bok choy, and what can I use it for?"

Bok choy is a versatile member of the cabbage family and boasts great crunch and a slight bite; some call it poor man's arugula. Loaded with vitamin C, calcium, and potassium, bok choy is also low in calories and fat free. Bok choy hits its peak season during the winter months and is great in many recipes.

Storage and Preparation

Bok choy will keep for a few days unwashed in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. To prepare bok choy, pull off individual leaves and rinse them with cold water from your faucet. A sprayer-type faucet is very helpful when rinsing vegetables such as bok choy.
