Black Summer Bok Choy Chris Buhler says that Floating Gardens ’ Black Summer Bok Choy is the star of their greenhouse crops. As an owner, Chris should know, so I was delighted to give it a try.

You can eat it raw or cooked, and it’s a common ingredient in Chinese, Philippine, and Thai recipes. I tried the younger leaves raw in a salad and liked the added texture and flavour - the lettuce seemed very limp and bland in comparison. I also cooked them; they had a touch of lemon as well as a peppery bite. I'll definitely buy it again.
