Barry Sears, MD, creator of the Zone Diet and author of The Top 100 Zone Foods, says that bok choy is the healthiest of all cabbages, which says a lot because cabbage is already so incredibly healthy.
Bok Choy has long been a staple in Asian cuisine, and has been making it's way into mainstream America. We JOOS bok choy daily because we fervently believe in it's many nutritional benefits.
Bok Choy is a member of the brassica family, a genus of plants known as mustards or cabbage. It is rich in folate, Vitamin C, beta-carotene (1 cup contains nearly the entire RDA), calcium (i cup contains approximately the same as 1/2 cup milk) and potassium. It also containes nitrogen known as indoles, which are phytochemicals that are said to prevent breast cancer.
As I asked about kale, when is the last time you ate a bowl of raw bok choy? Well, if you're a JOOSer, you're getting it in almost every JOOS.
