Bok Choy is in the peak of its season.

This week we celebrate bok choy, a type of Chinese cabbage, as one of the World's Healthiest Food. It is characterized by a loose, bulbous cluster of dark green leaves with firm stems. Great for stir fries, it has a mild flavor that is a great complement to other vegetables, chicken, and fish.

One cup of bok choy contains approximately 138% of the daily value (DV) for vitamin A, 87% DV for vitamin C, 23% for vitamin B6 and 18% DV for calcium. It has a higher concentration of beta-carotene than any other type of cabbage. Baby bok choy has a lower concentration of nutrients because it is harvested when it is still immature.

As with all foods, I recommend selecting organic bok choy whenever possible.
