Did you know?
Napa cabbage (or Chinese cabbage) is believed to have originated in China over 1,000 years ago and is now one of the most popular vegetables in East Asian cuisine.
It is the main vegetable used in traditional kimchi.
Napa cabbage is extremely hydrating, made up of about 95% water.
The name “Napa” comes from the Japanese word “nappa”, meaning leafy greens.
It grows quickly and can thrive in cool climates, making it a popular fall and winter crop.
Drawback
Can cause gas or bloating in some people due to fiber and sulfur-containing compounds.
May interfere with thyroid function if eaten in extremely large raw quantities (like other cruciferous vegetables).
Some people may find its texture too watery when cooked.
