Shanghai Pak Choi Seeds – Green Stem Bok Choy, Organic, 45–60 Days

The Classic Chinese Green Stem Bok Choy — Crisp, Tender, and Versatile

Shanghai Pak Choi (Green Stem Bok Choy / Brassica rapa var. chinensis) is one of the most beloved and versatile vegetables in Asian cuisine. Producing large, succulent, glossy green leaves with crisp, jade-green stalks, it has a mild, slightly mustard-like flavor that shines raw in salads or cooked in stir-fries, soups, and steamed dishes. Cold-hardy, fast-growing, and container-friendly, it’s an ideal choice for home gardeners who want a high-nutrition green with minimal effort. Rich in vitamins A and C and folic acid.
