Shungiku

Shungiku is a tender leafy green used widely in East Asian cooking — known as shungiku in Japan and tong hao in China — commonly added to soups, hot pots, stir-fries and salads for its slightly bitter, aromatic flavor. It is very low in calories at 24kcal per 100g and provides a modest boost of fiber with 3.1g per 100g, making it a light, filling vegetable to add to meals. Rich in fat‑soluble vitamins (notably vitamin K and provitamin A) and plant pigments, it also contributes carotenoids with antioxidant properties, and its overall nutrient profile makes it a healthy way to increase vegetables in your diet.
