Great source of vitamins A, C, K, B12, and B6.

Seasonal Calendar

Pak Choi can be grown in Tenerife from mid to late winter, and even throughout the season in areas with more moderate climates, due to its resistance to cold.

The requirements for its cultivation include loose soils rich in organic matter, moderate watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, good lighting while avoiding direct sunlight, and protection from severe frosts. It is advisable to avoid planting it in summer.

As for harvesting, the leaves can be picked one by one, starting with the outer ones, allowing the plant to continue producing new leaves. Depending on temperatures and growing conditions, a harvest can be obtained in approximately one month.

Selection tips

When selecting Pak Choi (or Bok Choy) when buying, it is important to consider several aspects to ensure you get a quality and fresh product:

Leaves and Stems: Look for deep green leaves and firm stems. The leaves should be fresh and the stems should be sturdy.
Texture: The ideal texture of Pak Choi is tender yet crisp. You can test its tenderness by gently pressing a few leaves; they should yield slightly under pressure but not feel soft or limp.
Color: Color is also an important indicator of freshness and nutrient content. Look for vibrant green leaves with bright white stems. Avoid specimens with pale or dull colors, as these may indicate they are past their prime.
Smell: Pay attention to the smell of the Pak Choi. It should smell fresh and not have an earthy, musty, or ammonia-like aroma, as this could indicate unwanted microbial growth or that the vegetable is spoiled.

Conservation

To store Pak Choi at home and maintain its freshness, follow these tips:

Refrigeration: Store the Pak Choi in the refrigerator. Place it inside a perforated plastic bag to allow some air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
Washing: Do not wash Pak Choi before storing it. It is best to wash it just before use to prevent premature spoilage.
Timely Use: Although Pak Choi keeps well in the refrigerator, it is recommended to use it as soon as possible to enjoy its maximum freshness and nutritional value.
