Pak Choi Red Choi F1 Seeds

Pak Choi (Brassica rapa) also known as Bok Choy, is a delicious and nutritious member of the cabbage family, prized for its tender leaves and crunchy stems.

 

The Red Coi F1 variety stands out with its deep red-pink tinged leaves and crisp, white stems, making it an attractive addition to both the vegetable garden and the kitchen.

 

The Latin name Brassica is derived from the Celtic word for cabbage, while rapa means "turnip," reflecting its turnip-like origins. Red Coi is an early maturing variety perfect for stir-fries, salads, and soups.

 

This fast-growing, compact variety reaches a height of 30–40 cm and thrives in rich, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade.

It has a robust flavour that complements a wide range of dishes and is known for its high nutritional value, rich in vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron. Pak Choi is also a great plant for intercropping, growing quickly between other crops in the garden.
