Bok Choy is also called Pak Choi or Chinese cabbage. Although it looks like romaine lettuce, it is actually a kind of cabbage that is a distant relative of broccoli and cauliflower. It is also sometimes referred to as "soup spoon" because of the shape of its leaves/stalks. In Chinese, bok choy means white vegetable. Bok choy is a popular addition to Asian cuisine and most of us have eaten it in Chinese take-out without even realizing we've eaten in. Bok Choy is an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, K and B6 and several minerals (iron, calcium, and potassium to name a few).
