Ivory-white, sweet-flavored stems against forest green foliage make for a stunning contrast of colors, but it’s the flavor and juicy texture that really make Baby Milk Bok Choy a show stopper! The perfect single serving sized plant, a head can fit neatly in your palm. In China bok choy is celebrated as a nutrient-dense superfood; indeed bok choy is a rich source of vitamin A, C, and K, as well as smaller amounts of a wide range of important nutrients. Bok Choy also ranks at the top of ranked lists of nutrient density, rated healthier even than spinach and broccoli.

Average 55 days to maturity. A runaway winner of the Baker Creek tasting and growing trials, this stunning new superfood contains four times as much vitamin A as carrots! It is also a great source of minerals and protein. A cross between two of the most delicious and hardy greens -- tatsoi and komatsuna -- the lightly savoyed leaves of Chijimisai have a velvety texture and lightly umami flavor that make it a remarkable spinach substitute. This innovative “new” heirloom Asian green is both heat and cold tolerant, making it suitable to grow year round in most growing zones, save for the extreme seasons of some climates. This quick and easy-to-grow green is phenomenally tasty and more versatile than other greens. It is equally happy in stir fries and soups as it is in salads, lasagna or atop pizzas. Sure to be the next culinary craze and must-have market gardeners’ green, no patch of greens should be without Chijimisai!

(B. rapa) Tatsoi is nicknamed Vitamin Green, and rightfully so. This gourmet green is known as one of the richest sources of vitamin C and it is replete with other incredible vitamins, minerals, and health-promoting compounds! Its glossy and tender leaves pack 2 times as much vitamin C as that of an orange and twice as much calcium as an equal serving of milk! Tatsoi also boasts glucosinolates (which science shows are converted to cancer fighting compounds in the body) and carotenoids, which promote eye health. You won’t have to bargain with your kids to get them to eat this veggie. It’s super sweet and easy to love, with a mild and refreshing flavor. The low-growing rosettes are comprised of tiny, glossy spoon-shaped leaves that boast crisp and juicy mouth-feel.

A perfectly miniature bok choy! Stuff several in the steamer basket or pop one into your mouth for a nutritious snack! The extra-dwarf heads are famous across China and even long popular in U.S. markets and restaurants. Said to have first been grown in a small village called Hak Tau on Hong Kong, a local legend holds that an old man first began cultivating this variety and spreading seeds to fellow villagers. He asked only that the variety remain in the village. But after outsiders came in the night to steal seeds, Hedou baby bok choy became famous across Hong Kong and eventually the globe. The delicious micro choy is a staple in many dishes and a perfect bite-sized veggie!

An Incredible Variety From China! We love this eye-catching purple baby bok choy, and we believe this is one of the best strains available. It is loaded with high levels of antioxidants with anti-aging properties as well as a sweet, rich flavor that is perfect for the wok, grill or in salads. We love the highly refined, uniform heads, averaging 6-7 inches tall. The neat little plants make a perfect presentation tucked into the tidy kitchen garden or displayed at the farmers market stand. A beautiful variety, the antioxidant-rich plum colored leaves really pop against the lime green stems. Crunchy, juicy and flavorful, this is an excellent culinary variety. Much work has been put into selecting for consistently attractive, delicious heads. A must have for market and home use. This variety also produces about three times as much vitamin A as green types we tested!
