FROM Chinese cabbage I first met in the late 90s, when my family and I went on a tour to Prague, in those days we didn’t have such products at all. Standing in front of a vegetable counter in a supermarket, I could not understand what it was, a salad or cabbage, especially since the name was in Czech ... Actually, until the end of the 70s, Beijing cabbage, or, as it is also called , chinese salad, was a rather scarce commodity not only in our country, but throughout Europe and even in America, because it was mainly imported from its homeland - China, where it has been cultivated since about the 6th century. Only relatively recently has it ceased to be a rarity in stores. This is due, first of all, to the breeding of new varieties that allow it to be successfully grown in the conditions of the European climate. The results of the work of breeders are obvious - Beijing cabbage can now be bought in every supermarket at any time of the year.
WHAT AND WHO IS BEIJING USEFUL?
Why is Beijing cabbage so useful, why is it valued, what is the reason for the dizzying success of Chinese cabbage all over the world? First of all, it is worth noting that there is several times more vitamin C in it than in lettuce leaves. A lot of carotene and B vitamins, as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. But there are very few calories (16 kcal per 100 g), so it can be safely recommended to supporters healthy eating. Beijing is included in almost all diets for weight loss.
Beijing cabbage is one of the leaders among green vegetables in terms of vitamin C content - 27 mg per 100 g! In addition, it is very important in the diet of heart patients and hypertensive patients due to the presence a large number potassium.
WHAT IS COOKED FROM BEIJING?
Chinese cabbage leaves are most often used for cooking variety of salads but there are other recipes. For example, they turn out very tasty and delicate. And in Asia, they like to ferment Beijing.
Strictly speaking, Beijing cabbage is somewhere between ordinary white cabbage and salads. Cabbage is harsh for some, salads may not suit everyone with their price (especially in winter!) - this is where Beijing cabbage comes to the rescue. Tender, crispy, it goes well with other vegetables, as well as with poultry, seafood and cheese.
ABOUT REFUELING
