Description

Napa cabbage (*Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis*), also known as Chinese cabbage, is distinct from the flat cabbage you saw previously. * **Appearance:** It forms a **tight, elongated, or cylindrical (barrel-shaped) head** with a rounded top, rather than a flat one. The leaves are light green, crinkled, and ruffled at the edges, growing upward from a prominent, thick, white midrib/stalk. * **Flavour and Texture:** It has a **mild, subtly sweet flavour** and a delicate but satisfyingly **crisp texture**. Its tenderness makes it suitable for both raw and cooked applications. * **Best Uses:** Napa cabbage is the primary ingredient in traditional Korean **kimchi** (spicy fermented cabbage). It is also widely used in **stir-fries**, where it cooks quickly and absorbs sauces; in various types of **dumpling fillings** (like gyoza or potstickers); and added to **soups and stews**. When raw, it's a great addition to salads and slaws, offering a lighter crunch than regular green cabbage.
