Napa cabbage

Napa cabbage (also known as Chinese cabbage) is a type of cabbage native to the eastern part of China. It is commonly used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines. Napa cabbage is known for its crisp texture and mild flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in various dishes. In Hebrew, it is called כרוב סיני (krov sinni). In Japanese, it is referred to as hakusai (白菜), while in Korean, it is known as baechu (배추). This leafy green vegetable is particularly popular in fermented form, such as in Korean kimchi, and is also used in salads, soups, and stir-fries. Napa cabbage is rich in vitamins, including vitamin C and K, and provides a good source of dietary fiber. Its large, light green leaves and dense, white stem make it easily distinguishable from other types of cabbage.
