Tag: Edible bok choy

Nearly 100% of the bok choy plant is edible, from its tender leaves to its crisp, juicy stems. If you've been wondering, "Are you supposed to eat the stems of bok choy?", the simple and satisfying answer is yes, you can and should.

While the entire bok choy plant is edible with the exception of the very bottom root, the tough, fibrous core is the main part of bok choy you should cut off. This small, inedible portion at the base should be trimmed away before washing and separating the stalks for your recipe.
