Baby Bok Choy

Baby bok choy is a small, tender Chinese cabbage with spoon-shaped dark green leaves and pale, bulbous stems. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with crisp, juicy stems and delicate leaves, and it cooks in minutes. Common uses include quick stir-fries, light braises, soups, and grilling; it is sold as compact heads or small loose bunches.

Bok choy was domesticated in China and remains a staple across regional Chinese cuisines, with baby forms harvested earlier for tenderness. It spread throughout East and Southeast Asia and to global markets via migration and commercial market gardening.
