Availability: Out of Stock

Believed to be of very ancient origin, the spoon-shaped, dark green, evenly spaced leaves make tatsoi a plant worthy to be grown for its decorative value alone! More nutritious (high calcium and vitamin content) and more flavorful (slightly mustard-like) than traditional bok choy; many consider it a superior flavor, and it is prized for its smooth texture. Very cold tolerant; withstands temperatures down to 15°F. Tatsoi can be harvested even when there is snow on the ground!

Great for high altitudes

Oct 3, 2020

I grew this Tatsoi green this summer. I live at 7,300 above sea level. It has not bolted, has produced a huge crop, grew in partial shade, is still growing despite being snowed on. Love the flavor. Very mild and great texture. Will be growing again next spring.

Lovely Green!

I live in zone 9b, and had these growing throughout the winter. They were very easy to grow and I just harvest the outer leaves. I harvested some for hot pot and they were delicious! It was very tender and mild in flavour, but delicious in the soup.
