Toy Choy
Brassica oleraceae var. chinensis
This miniature pac choi can be picked at the "single serving" size. Dark green leaves and glistening white stems mark this as a standout in a display. You can use these delicacies gently braised and served whole to appreciate the mild flavour and graceful appearance. The add flavour and crunch to stir-fries.
Matures in 30-50 days. (hybrid seeds)

I planted Toy Choy in a terra cotta container on March 16, and harvested it on May 14. I pulled the complete plants out of the ground, then trimmed off the roots in the kitchen. It has been a cool and wet spring, so the toy choy got off to a slow start, but it was ready to eat before any of my other greens (lettuce, spinachm chard). Lovely! |
