This Asian veggie is making its way into all types of cuisine. Whether it is sautéed with soy sauce and garlic, roasted with salmon, or sliced in a salad, or tossed on the grill, bok choy is a versatile veggie. Plus it's
known to protect bone and eye health, aid with healthy muscle function, protect the heart and promote healthy circulation!
And best of all it's in season now!!
Get it this week at Blooming Glen Farm or Salvaterra's Gardens.
