Storage & Preparation

Store Bok Choy in a plastic bag in your refrigerator vegetable drawer for up to a week. Wait to wash it until you are ready to eat it.

To prepare full size baby box choy, remove the bottom of the Bok Choy plant with a sharp knife so that the leaves separate. Rinse each leaf with cool water and pat dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner.

The greens have a spinach-like taste with a very mild bitterness. You can purchase bok choy in typically two sizes, baby and large mature stalks that’ll need to be chopped into smaller pieces. Although the leaves can be eaten raw and tossed into fresh salads, they are best cooked. Bok Choy is fat free, low in sodium and calories, an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate.
