It has a cylindrical shape with tightly packed, pale green leaves that gradually lighten towards the center. With a crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, Chinese cabbage is versatile and can be enjoyed raw in salads, pickled, stir-fried, or added to soups and stews. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, it offers a nutritious addition to various dishes.
