Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Organic Tat Soi Chinese Cabbage Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

This tender and nutritious herb is an excellent addition to salads and stir-fries with its mild flavor! Often planted for the baby leaf market, these small shiny dark green leaves are shaped like spoons and are ready to harvest in 21 days after sowing. When they are spaced further apart, the leaves form a compact, thick rosette in 45 days, perfect for bunching. Chinese cabbage dates back to the 15th century in China, when a pharmacologist of the Ming Dynasty considered it nutritionally beneficial. Later it became the main ingredient in kim chi, the national dish of Korea; Japanese soldiers also discovered Chinese cabbage and took it home with them after the war. Americans became familiar with this vegetable in the late 19th century.
