Try growing Pak choi and Chinese greens, says Bob
LOVE stir fries and want to eat more greens? Then pak choi and Chinese greens are what you’re looking for.
There’s a wide range of these quick, easy-to-prepare nutritious vegetables, some with more spinach-like leaves, others with more crunchy stems. And you’ve no doubt guessed they come from China.
Closely related to our brassicas, such as Brussels sprouts, the Chinese varieties are grown more rapidly so have textures suited for stir frying rather than boiling.
