Bok choy consists of a clustered base of thick stems and oval-shaped leaves. When cooked, the texture softens into a tender consistency, and the flavor mellows into an earthy, mild taste.
Bok choy is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which are antioxidants that can help protect the immune system and repair cell damage. It also contains vitamins B6, K, and E, magnesium, potassium, iron, manganese, and calcium.
