‘Bekana’ Chinese Salad “Cabbage”

Bekana is a very quick growing oriental green that makes large open heads of pale green leaves. Don’t be put off by the name. This fantastic plant isn’t a cabbage at all; it’s shaped like a Pak Choi with long white stems and gently wavy leaves. It has juicy white midribs that you will recognise as the yummy bits from your chinese takeaways, and the tender leaves have an excellent flavour. It is quick to grow even from a Spring sowing and has a great flavour raw in salads, or cooked as a green.

Particularly tasty stir-fried, also good for winter & early spring salad stuff.
