About Yuchoy

Yuchoy, also known as choy sum, is a leafy green vegetable popular in Chinese cuisine and widely used across East and Southeast Asian dishes. It features tender green stalks, small yellow flowers, and dark green leaves, making it both a visually appealing and nutrient-rich addition to meals. Packed with essential vitamins like A, C, and K, yuchoy supports immune function, skin health, and bone strength. It is also a good source of folate, calcium, and dietary fiber, promoting heart health and digestion. Low in calories and fat, yuchoy is ideal for maintaining a balanced diet. Commonly stir-fried, steamed, or added to soups, this versatile vegetable delivers a mild, slightly sweet flavor. However, individuals sensitive to oxalates should consume it in moderation as yuchoy contains these naturally occurring compounds. Easy to incorporate, it’s a nutritious staple in plant-forward, health-conscious diets.
