Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between bok choy and baby bok choy?
Baby bok choy is harvested earlier and has a more tender texture and milder, sweeter flavor. Regular bok choy has larger, more fibrous stalks and stronger flavor. Both are prepared similarly.
Is bok choy calcium well-absorbed?
Yes! Unlike spinach, bok choy is low in oxalates, so its calcium is highly bioavailable - about 50-60% absorption compared to 30% for milk. It's an excellent plant-based calcium source.
