Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan)
Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) is a leafy crucifer often called Gai Lan in Chinese cooking, prized for its thick stems and slightly bitter leaves and commonly served stir‑fried, blanched or steamed as a side in Cantonese and other Asian cuisines. Nutritionally it is low in energy and a good source of vitamin C (45mg per 100g) while also providing dietary fiber and notable amounts of vitamin K and folate. It contains crucifer‑associated compounds like glucosinolates that have been linked with detoxification and antioxidant effects, and its overall nutrient profile makes it a very healthful vegetable to include regularly.
