Kailan, also known as Chinese broccoli, is a leafy green vegetable popular in Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai. Belonging to the Brassica family, it is closely related to broccoli and kale. Kailan features thick, tender stems and dark green leaves, as well as small, edible flower buds. Rich in nutrients, it is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and fiber. Its antioxidants support immune health and help combat inflammation, while its high fiber content aids in digestion. Kailan is also low in calories and contains minimal fat, making it a great choice for maintaining a healthy weight. Typically stir-fried, steamed, or blanched, it pairs well with garlic, ginger, and savory sauces. However, consuming it in high-sodium dishes may reduce its health benefits.
