Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis
Pak Choi
Common names: Senfkohl, Chinese mustard cabbage
This description was machine-translated.
Description
Pak Choi does not form tight heads but loose rosettes of thick white stems and dark green leaves that taste mildly spicy. It grows quickly, is well suited to fill gaps between other crops, and is commonly stir‑fried in a wok in a few minutes in Asian cuisine.
Care instructions
Sow in staggered batches from April to August, preferably after the summer solstice, as long days and dryness can cause it to bolt. Keep the soil consistently moist and nutrient‑rich, and harvest young after four to six weeks—either whole rosettes or individual leaves as needed.
