Dark green, large spoon-shaped leaves with wide, light green midribs and mild flavor. Shanghai Green forms densely packed, vase-like heads. Plants can be spaced closely for baby choy, which is in demand with chefs for its tenderness and mild flavor. Originally native to China, the seed for this variety came to us through Kitazawa Seed Company, a California-based seed company specializing in Asian vegetable seeds.
