CLEAR BOK CHOY SOUP

CLEAR  BOK CHOY SOUP

BY DISHA LAHORI

Bok choy, pak choi, or pok choi is a type of Chinese cabbage

Bok choy also contains vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene. These nutrients have powerful antioxidant properties that help protect cells against damage by free radicals. Unlike most other fruits and vegetables, bok choy contains the mineral selenium .

Bok choy is an excellent source of vitamin A – one cup gives you 60 per cent of your daily requirement. It is also a good source of vitamin C and is rich in vitamin K. Bok choy is a good source of dietary fibre.

Bok choy has a mild, cabbage-like flavor. As with most dark leafy greens, the green part of bok choy has a slightly bitter mineral flavor. The white stalk is full of water and has a crunchy yet juicy texture.
