About Choy sum

Choy Sum, also known as Chinese flowering cabbage, is a leafy green vegetable commonly used in Asian cuisine, especially Chinese cooking. It features tender stems, vibrant green leaves, and small edible yellow flowers, offering a slightly sweet and mustard-like flavor. Packed with nutrients, Choy Sum is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, supporting vision, immunity, and bone health. It also contains dietary fiber for digestion and essential minerals like calcium and potassium. Low in calories and fat, it's suitable for weight management and heart health. Typically stir-fried, steamed, or added to soups, Choy Sum complements a balanced diet with its versatility. While it’s naturally nutritious, over-salting or frying during preparation can reduce its health benefits. Commonly found in Asian grocery stores, it has become a global favorite for its flavor and health-promoting properties.
