Kai Lan, also known as Chinese broccoli, is a leafy green vegetable widely used in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese and Thai dishes. Originating from China, it features thick, tender stems, small clusters of flower buds, and glossy dark green leaves, which can be steamed, stir-fried, or boiled. Kai Lan is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron, making it a nutrient-dense choice for promoting bone health, boosting immunity, and supporting heart health. It's also a good source of dietary fiber for digestion. Low in calories and fat, it fits well into most diets. However, those sensitive to oxalates should moderate their intake, as it contains these naturally occurring compounds. Its mild yet slightly bitter flavor and versatility make it a popular addition to savory dishes and a nutritious choice for balanced eating.
