About Choi sum vegetables

Choi Sum, known as Chinese flowering cabbage, is a popular leafy vegetable widely used in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese, Taiwanese, and Southeast Asian dishes. This versatile green is characterized by its tender stalks, small yellow flowers, and mildly sweet, earthy flavor. Nutritionally, Choi Sum is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, which support immune health, skin, and bone strength. It also provides dietary fiber for better digestion and contains antioxidants that help combat free radicals. Low in calories and fat, Choi Sum is often featured in stir-fries, soups, and steamed dishes, making it a staple of healthy cooking. However, like many leafy greens, it contains moderate levels of oxalates, which might affect individuals prone to kidney stones if consumed excessively. As a delicious and nutrient-packed vegetable, Choi Sum offers both culinary flexibility and health benefits, making it a great addition to any balanced diet.
