Brassica rapa var. chinensis
Joi Choi is a delightful variety of bok choy grown primarily for its deliciously crisp stalks, which are a staple in many Asian dishes. Each plant typically produces 10 to 14 erect stalks that reach about 40 cm (15 in.) tall, making it a robust addition to your garden. Enjoy the sweet, tender texture of Joi Choi, whether cooked or enjoyed raw in fresh salads.
Size: Mature plants grow to around 40 cm (15 in.) tall with multiple upright stalks.
Yield: Expect a steady harvest throughout the growing season, suitable for continual picking.
Taste: Crisp, sweet flavour that is both mild and refreshing.
How to use: Delicious both fresh in salads and stir-fried; great for Asian cuisine.
Planting tips: Sow outdoors as soon as weather allows, covering seeds lightly with soil—6 to 7 seeds per 30 cm (1 ft) of row. Ideal growth occurs in average garden soil with full sun exposure. Thin to 30 cm (1 ft) apart once seedlings reach 7 cm (3 in.) high.
Harvest tips: Harvest regularly to promote tender new growth; leaves and stalks can be cut as needed.
