Requires regular watering (less during germination period and when heads are firm).

Similar to the common cabbage, however the Chinese cabbage’s fine leaves are longer and slimmer. The looser packed heads have a faint, mustard-like flavour. Use in salads and as for the common cabbage. The Chinese cabbage originates- and is much used in Asia.
