Geography/History

Also known as bak choi, paak choi, Chinese chard cabbage and Chinese mustard cabbage, bok choy is member of the cabbage family, Brassica chinensis. Cultivated in China for many centuries, Europe got acquainted with this vegetable in the 1700s. Grown in Canada and popular in Philippine cuisine, bok choy is especially popular in Chinese cooking. In the United States, California is a major producer. Harvested small in size, it is marketed as baby bok choy. A miniature type, Shanghai bok choy is a fancier name frequently used for baby bok choy. Of the baby bok choys, bok choy sum, also known as Canton bok choy, has tiny yellow flowers. Shanghai bok choy is most often light green in color and does not produce flowers.
