Once you find out about bok choy nutrition, you will want to add it to your regular shopping list! Here are seven fantastic features.
This superfood is full of calcium, which boosts bone health. Bok choy has a great bioavailability of calcium (how easily it is absorbed). Calcium from bok choy is slightly more easily absorbed than calcium from dairy milk.
Great source of potassium and magnesium which along with calcium mentioned above help to regulate heart rate and blood pressure.
Bok choy is full of vitamins including vitamins A, C, K, B6, and folate. 1 cup of cooked bok choy gives the recommended daily 17 percent of your allowance for vitamin A, and close to 35 percent of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C.
Antioxidants aid in cancer prevention and keep cholesterol in check.
Bok choy is full of beta carotene, a nutrient that boosts eye health and reduces the risk of macular degeneration.
Bok choy is a green superfood that is full of phytonutrients. These have been shown to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Bok choy has great anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it a perfect option for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and looking for natural pain relief.
There are so many ways to enjoy bok choy in your daily diet. It is great eaten raw (wash well first) and as an ingredient in smoothies alongside or in place of other leafy greens. It can also be used as a crudité for dipping, enjoyed in salads and Buddha bowls, steamed with ginger, or as a starring ingredient in many flavourful Asian-inspired dishes.
Editor’s note: below is a selection of recipes from the Nourish collection that work beautifully with bok choy.
