🥬🇬🇧 Fresh British Pak Choi – Crisp, Tender & Full of Flavour

Our Fresh British Crisp Pak Choi has crunchy pale stems, tender green leaves and a wonderfully mild, fresh flavour.

Also known as Bok Choy, Pak Choi is a versatile leafy brassica that’s particularly popular in Asian-inspired cooking. It cooks in minutes and works beautifully in stir-fries, noodle dishes, soups and broths.

Both the stems and leaves are edible. The stems provide a satisfying crunch while the leaves quickly soften during cooking, giving you two fantastic textures from the same vegetable.

Our Fresh British Crisp Pak Choi is carefully selected for freshness, colour and quality.

Crisp. Tender. Fresh. Made for quick cooking. 🥬✨
