Maui Onions
Two characteristics set the Maui onion apart from other yellow onions: the high sugar and high moisture content of its flesh.
Cantaloupe Melon
The cantaloupe is defined by two elements: its roughly netted stone and green colored skin and its aromatic orange-coral colored flesh. When perfectly ripe, the flesh is juicy, unctuous and sweet.

Seasons/Availability
Coleman Family Farms grows red bok choy year-round. Although imperfect weather can cause some imperfect availability.
Current Facts
Bok choy is a member of the Chinensis family. Chinensis varieties do not form heads, rather they grow leafy blades much like celery and mustard.
Description/Taste
Also known as Red Violet Tatsoi Hybrid, this is a unique bok choy vartiety. The shiny leaves range in color from red-violet to dark purple, and they hold their color well even in the summer heat, although this variety also tolerates colder temperatures. Lightly textured, the spoon-shaped leaves have a mild mustard flavor.
Geography/History
Bok choy is native to China, originally confined to the Yangtze River Delta. Its name is derived from the Chinese name for "soup spoon" because of the shape of its leaves.
