🌱 Producer Introduction:

Born in a family of agriculture, I have followed my elders in farming since I was young, and I went out to earn a living to middle-aged. At that time, I discovered that a lot of pesticides on foreign crops were discovered. In view of this, I established my "Hong Kong Organic Fruits and Vegetables Farm" in 2006.

To be listed as "organic" is the industry of conscience. We have promised organic regulations for more than 13 years. The crops we produce make my family, friends and customers who buy my crops feel trust.

Now the farm has 18 acres of land, and organically grown crops are selected as the characteristics of the farm. Examples include: strawberry, Taiwan candied date, pineapple, fig, dragon fruit, passion fruit, guava, potato, purple yam, variegated carrot, Variegated cherry tomato, rice, corn, mushroom organic products and organic seasonal fruits and vegetables, etc.

🛍 Product Information (Main) (English):

Binomial Name:Brassica parachinensis Bailey

Chinese Name:菜心

Other Name:Choi Sum

Product Description:Because Westerners have never been very good at distinguishing between cabbage and other crops, they often confuse various vegetables in terms of names. Choy sum (also known as tall choy sum) produced in Guangdong Province is a type of choy sum, which is larger and sweeter than ordinary choy sum. It gets its name because it is produced in winter and is produced later than ordinary cabbage. It can be fried or boiled with crucian carp.

Sweet, cool in nature. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, invigorating the middle and benefiting qi, dispersing the lungs and removing phlegm, clearing the stomach, dissipating blood stasis and reducing swelling. Cabbage is rich in fiber, which can not only provide satiety, but also promote intestinal peristalsis, which can effectively prevent constipation and intestinal cancer, which can lead to weight control. In addition, cabbage is also high in calcium, which is involved in muscle contraction and nerve transmission, enabling people to respond appropriately and quickly.

Originated in southern China, it evolved from pakchoi. Mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and other regions. After the 20th century, it was successfully introduced in Japan.

Variety:The color of the stem varies from white-green to turquoise, the leaves are dark green, and there are small yellow flowers between the stems. There are three types of cultivars: early, medium and late.

Supply Season:It is produced throughout the year, but the sweetness produced in autumn and winter from September to April of the following year.

Storage Method:Seal in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for about 1 week.

#Should Be / Avoided:
Appropriate: It is especially suitable for people with qi and blood deficiency, puerperium women, people with edema, blood stasis, phlegm asthma, people who have just undergone surgery, people with chronic diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, chronic bronchitis, and habitual constipation.
Contraindications: People with weak spleen and stomach should eat with caution.

*Edible Compatibility:
Suitable: Chinese cabbage and chicken: Because cabbage has the functions of helping digestion, regulating viscera and regulating intestines, while chicken has the functions of filling essence and marrow, promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, the two cooperate properly. Contraindications: Not reported in the literature.

Cooking Skills:Most of the mature cabbage will have small yellow flowers. Some restaurants will pluck the small yellow flowers to avoid giving customers the feeling that the cabbage is too old or too mature. Edible parts are leaves and tender stems. Soak the cabbage in water for about 45 minutes, then rinse under running water several times.

Notes:Soak the flower hearts in water for about forty-five minutes to let the parasites emerge; then rinse them off under running water. Because the surfaces of flowers and leaves tend to hold the most pesticides, they must be carefully cleaned.

Dish:Stir-fried beef with cabbage and cabbage with oyster sauce.

Supply Period: It Is Produced Throughout The Year, But The Sweetness Produced In Autumn And Winter From September To April Of The Following Year.

Suggested Eating Method:
Most of the mature dishes will have yellow flowers. Some restaurants will remove Xiaohuanghua to avoid the feeling of being too old or mature to give the guests. The edible part is leaves and tender stems. Soak the heart of the vegetables in the water for about 45 minutes, and then rinse several times under the flowing water.
