Nappa Cabbage
Selection Information
Usage: Salads, Oriental cooking, stir-fry, pickling, braised.
Selection: Also called Chinese cabbage, Napa, wong nga bok, siu choy (Chinese) and hakusai (Japanese), good quality product will be loose-leafed, and fairly heavy in relation to size. Green to slightly pale leaves are better than yellow or white. Fairly thick and pliable leaves will be more tender and juicy.
Avoid: Avoid cabbage that has thin, wilted leaves which are a sign of old product. Light-colored heads that are very solid mean all core and less taste. Flowering in the end of the cabbage means it has been grown too long.
Seasonal Information
Available year-round. Washington Napa cabbage is available during September and October.
