Pak Choy

Pak Choy is a leafy cruciferous vegetable commonly used in East Asian cooking, often stir-fried, steamed or added to soups and noodle dishes. It is very low in energy at 13kcal per 100g, making it a popular choice for light, veg-forward meals. Nutritionally it provides modest amounts of fiber and plant protein while being especially rich in micronutrients — notably vitamin K, vitamin C and provitamin A — and contains very little fat. This combination makes it a good option to boost vitamins and volume without many calories. As a crucifer, Pak Choy also contains protective phytochemicals such as glucosinolates and carotenoids, which contribute antioxidant activity and are associated with detoxifying and cell-protective effects.
