Fascinating fact! Bok choy comes in several delightful varieties, each with its own unique characteristics and flavours. The most common variety is Shanghai bok choy, which features pale green, tender stalks and dark green, crinkled leaves. Another popular type is Baby bok choy, which is smaller and more delicate, with a sweet and tender taste, making it perfect for quick sautéing or steaming. Choy sum, often confused with bok choy, is a related variety known for its slightly sweeter, mustard-like flavour and tender stems. Lastly, Red bok choy adds a pop of colour to your dishes, with vibrant red-tinged stems and leaves, while still maintaining the same crunchy texture and mild taste.
