Matures in 45 Days

A delicious staple in Asian cuisine with deep green leaf blades and white stems forming a tight clustered rosette. Very tender with a sweet mustard flavor. Leaves and stems may be eaten raw in salads, stir-fried, or added to soups. Reminiscent of celery in flavor and texture, often used as a replacement in recipes. Also known as Pak Choi, Bok Choy, or Bac Choi, “Pac Choi” typically refers to the smaller-sized heads.
