EverydayFresh

Choy sum is a leafy Chinese cabbage variety characterized by slender, tender stems and dark green spoon-shaped leaves with yellow flowers. This vegetable offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor with subtle mustard-like undertones and cooks rapidly when stir-fried or steamed. It provides significant vitamin A and C content along with calcium, making it a nutrient-dense choice for vegan, gluten-free, and low-carb diets in East Asian culinary traditions.
