Description

Chinese Pak Choi is a fast-growing, open-pollinated Asian green prized for its crisp white stems and tender dark green leaves. Mild, slightly sweet, and highly versatile, this classic vegetable is a staple in stir-fries, soups, and fresh dishes.

Compact yet productive, Pak Choi offers a delicate cabbage-like flavor with juicy texture and excellent tenderness. Young plants can be harvested whole for baby greens, while mature heads develop thick, crunchy stems ideal for cooking.
