How to offer

A great introduction to Asian greens. The sweet carrot balances bok choy's mild cabbage-like flavor.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 2 months.

Nutrition note

Bok choy is packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium, which are crucial for immune function, vision development, and strong bone growth. Its high fiber content also helps regulate bowel movements, making it a gut-friendly choice. It is a fantastic leafy green to help build your baby's palate for more complex vegetable tastes.
