About Book choy
Bok choy, also known as pak choi, is a leafy green vegetable widely used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. This versatile ingredient belongs to the Brassica family, alongside broccoli and cabbage. With its crisp white stalks and tender, dark green leaves, bok choy offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making it a popular choice for stir-fries, soups, and salads. Rich in essential nutrients, bok choy is a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and calcium, supporting bone health, immunity, and vision. It is low in calories and high in fiber, promoting digestive health while fitting well in weight-management diets. Additionally, bok choy contains antioxidants such as beta-carotene, which help protect cells from damage. While bok choy is generally healthy, consuming it excessively in very large amounts may impact thyroid function due to its natural goitrogenic compounds.
