xYu Choy Sum Seeds: A Versatile Asian Green for Home Gardens
Grow Yu Choy Sum from these 2000+ seeds and enjoy a leafy green with a crisp, tender stalk. This Brassica Juncea variety, also marketed as Chinese broccoli or choy sum, is a familiar staple in Cantonese kitchens and a growing favorite in the American home garden. The seed packet promises not just a plant, but a plentiful harvest you can rely on, offering a steady supply of greens for many meals.
What makes Yu Choy Sum special is that you can harvest the entire plant: leaves, stems, buds, and even the bright yellow flowers. When the plant is young, the leaves are tender and mild; as it matures, the shoots become slightly sweeter and more succulent, giving you a mix of textures in a single harvest. This makes it a flexible option for quick weeknight stir-fries or slower-simmered soups, letting you tailor the bite from tender to lightly crunchy.

In the kitchen

- Flavorful addition to light soups and broths for body and color
- Stems can be steamed or sautéed as a simple side dish
