Chinese cabbage Tokyo Bekana (Brassica rapa var. chinensis)
This cabbage looks like lettuce, but with a sweet cabbage taste. Narrow white stems that end in a very pale green curly leaf and are used in stir-fries or raw in salads. Easy to grow, it can be cut and it grows back if the season is long enough. Tolerates cold and heat. Pick the leaves when they are still young and tender or when they are fully mature.
