B. Rapa Chinensis，白蔬菜

它是什么？

This miniature Chinese cabbage has tender stalks without the tough fibers of full-size bok choy, and its bright green leaves have a sweet, clean flavor balanced by a hint of peppery, mustardy bitterness. This vegetable is fast-cooking, versatile, and available year-round.

Baby bok choy is part of a massive family of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) plants that have been cultivated since the 1400s. Among these, there are two major subspecies:pekinensis，形成头，chinensis, which grows as clustered stalks. Bok choy (B. rapa chinensis) is the latter. Its Chinese name translates to “white vegetable” for its stalks, which are often white but also can be light green. Baby bok choy can be either a dwarf strain, which is stout and often as small as 2 to 3 inches long, or an immature plant, picked when it’s 4 to 5 inches long and a little more slender. All varieties can be used interchangeably.

Baby bok choy is tolerant of both mild heat and cold, so it grows in temperate climates worldwide, though it’s still a much larger crop in China, Japan, and Korea than in other parts of the world.
