Pakchoi, also known as bok choy or Chinese cabbage, is a leafy green vegetable commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes. This cruciferous vegetable has crisp white stalks and tender, dark green leaves, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a hearty crunch. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, Pakchoi is also a good source of calcium, potassium, and antioxidants, promoting bone health, boosting immunity, and supporting heart health. Additionally, it contains dietary fiber, aiding digestion and maintaining gut health. With its low calorie content and virtually no fat, Pakchoi is considered highly nutritious and ideal for weight-conscious diets. However, like other cruciferous vegetables, excessive consumption may interfere with thyroid function in individuals with iodine sensitivity. Versatile and quick to cook, Pakchoi is enjoyed steamed, stir-fried, or added to soups, providing a nutrient-dense addition to any meal.
