About Chinese broccoli

Chinese Broccoli, also known as Gai Lan, is a vibrant green vegetable widely used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. This leafy green belongs to the Brassica family, closely related to broccoli and kale. Its tender stalks, broad leaves, and small flower buds make it a versatile ingredient, whether steamed, stir-fried, or blanched. Chinese Broccoli is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, supplying antioxidants that support immunity and skin health. It's also a good source of calcium and iron, beneficial for bone strength and oxygen transport in the blood. Low in calories and high in fiber, it promotes healthy digestion and weight management. However, sodium content may increase if cooked with soy sauce or other heavy seasonings, which should be consumed in moderation. Fresh and nutrient-packed, Chinese Broccoli is a delicious and healthful staple of Asian cuisine.
