Pak choi chosen for trials at Wisley
Pak choi, a Chinese veg, once spurned by British gardeners, is becoming all the rage.
Pak choi is so popular it’s being included in the prestigious trials at the Royal Horticultural Society’s flagship garden at Wisley.
The influence of television chefs has caused the versatile vegetable to gain popularity as a salad leaf ingredient. The tender stalks can be eaten raw in salads, stir fried, steamed or pickled and the flowering stems of some varieties, cut just before the flowers open, are tender and tasty.
The Wisley trial features 27 different varieties with both white and green stems including ‘Natsu Taiko’, ‘Lunar Queen’, ‘Colour and Crunch’ and ‘Summer Breeze’.
