Brassica rapa var. chinensis
Looks a bit like Swiss chard but chard it isn’t: our ‘red wizard’ is a very attractive member of the big family of pok choys, one of the most popular leaf vegetables of China. The leaves and juicy stalks of the red pok choy have a mild, sweetish cabbage-meets-spinach flavour with a hint of mustard. It’s quite low in calories and a good source of vitamins A, C, and K. The pretty purple baby leaves are delicious when eaten raw in salads. The bigger leaves taste very good after a short cooking time.
