About Choi sum

Choi Sum, also known as Chinese flowering cabbage, is a vibrant green leafy vegetable commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines. Its tender stalks, small yellow flowers, and slightly peppery leaves make it a versatile addition to stir-fries, soups, and steamed dishes. Packed with nutrients, Choi Sum is a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, which support eye health, immunity, and bone strength. It's also rich in antioxidants and contains dietary fiber for improved digestion. Low in calories and fat, Choi Sum is an excellent choice for weight management and heart health. However, like many cruciferous vegetables, excessive consumption might lead to bloating in sensitive individuals due to its natural fiber content. Fresh and mildly sweet, Choi Sum is an easy way to enliven meals with both flavor and nutritional benefits.
