Also called spinach mustard, spoon mustard, or rosette bok choy. Sometimes referred to as Japanese spinach.
The plant has dark green spoon-shaped leaves which form a thick rosette. It has a pleasant, sweet aroma and a mild mustard flavor.
Tatsoi is often compared to spinach because of its similar appearance, and because it shrinks significantly when cooked. The taste, however, is entirely different. Tatsoi’s flavors are sweet and earthy.
Tatsoi is a nutritional powerhouse! One cup contains just about 30 calories, meets your daily needs for Vitamin A (important for healthy eyesight) and Vitamin C (for proper immunity), contains a heaping helping of folate (essential for pregnant women!), and has smaller amounts of many other vitamins and minerals. It's an amazingly nutrient dense food that's great to add to any meal.
