Pak Choy

Pak choi originates from China and has been cultivated for over 1500 years. There are now larger areas of cultivation in the Netherlands, Spain and Italy. It is a close relative of Chinese cabbage.
Its flavour is rather mild and slightly spicy. The leaves of pak choi are sweetish, while the stalks are rather crunchy and have a somewhat sharper flavour.

Pak choi contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, B6, C, E and K, as well as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus.

Pak choi will keep in the fridge for 3 to 5 days, simply wrap it in a damp kitchen towel and place it in a freezer bag to protect it from drying out.
