What kind of food is this?
A leafy Chinese vegetable. At 15kcal per 100g it is light, with 0.76mg of manganese and 0.7mg of zinc—both above the average of the vegetables in our tables.
Manganese is a mineral involved in the metabolism that turns nutrients into energy and in the enzymes that build bone and connective tissue. Zinc is also involved in many enzyme reactions and in maintaining skin and coat.
With its thicker stems and firm fiber, it brings a slightly different nutritional mix from bok choy or komatsuna.
