Description

Bok Choy is commonly served as a cooked vegetable. Steamed or stir-fried, its soft dark leaves and sturdy white stalks are complemented with butter, pepper, salt or fresh lemon juice. Separate the stalks from the leaves, as the stalks will require a longer cooking time. Occasionally, this naturally peppery mustard lends itself to pickling.

Care and Handling

Ideal temperature conditions for bok choy are between 33 and 41 F with a relative humidity greater than 95%. Misting should be applied to minimize moisture loss and dehydration. Avoid yellowing or wilted leaves. Store in an unsealed plastic bag. Bok choy is not chilling-sensitive and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing.
