Chinese cabbage is a group of leafy vegetables eaten raw or cooked, with forms and qualities varying by variety.
About Chinese cabbage
Chinese cabbage is a common name for a group of leafy vegetables rather than a single unambiguous form. It can refer to varieties with elongated, tightly layered heads or to other cabbage-like leafy types; the catalogue name does not distinguish among them.
It is eaten as a vegetable in raw or cooked forms, depending on the variety and preparation. Leaves and stalks may differ in thickness, crispness, and flavour, and colour can range from pale to green. The exact appearance and texture therefore depend on which Chinese cabbage is supplied.
