Tatsoi, a delightful variety of Chinese cabbage, features vibrant emerald-green leaves that form tidy, compact rosettes. This fast-growing and robust herb adds a gratifying touch to any vegetable garden. Its subtle flavor evolves with leaf maturity, offering a spectrum of taste experiences. Widely sought after for baby leaf salads, Tatsoi Chinese Cabbage also lends its delicious essence to soups and stir-fries.

This tender and nutritious herb enhances salads and stir-fries with its gentle flavor profile. Often cultivated for its tender baby leaves, this glossy dark green foliage resembles spoons and matures for harvest within 21 days of sowing. When given ample space, the leaves develop into dense, lush rosettes in just 45 days, making them ideal for harvesting in bunches.

Chinese cabbage has roots dating back to the 15th century in China, recognized for its nutritional benefits by a pharmacologist during the Ming Dynasty. It later became a staple ingredient in kimchi, Korea's national dish, and was also adopted by Japanese soldiers returning home after the war. The introduction of this vegetable to Americans occurred in the late 19th century.

How To Grow

Sowing: Prepare the soil with compost or organic matter; Chinese cabbage prefers full sun or partial shade, and grows best in temperatures from 7-24°C (45-75°F). Direct seeding works best, about 10-15 centimeters before the last average spring frost date. Plant seeds about 30 centimeters apart in rows about 30 centimeters apart; germination should take place in about 10 days. For a fall crop, direct sow in July.

Growing: Keep the soil evenly moist for the healthiest growth. If the sun gets too hot, Chinese cabbage tends to "bolt" or go to seed; in long periods of heat, some kind of shade may be helpful.

Harvesting

You can harvest single leaves or the entire plant, either when they're tender baby leaves or fully mature. With a long growing season, multiple harvests are achievable.

Seed Saving

In regions where the ground freezes during winter, it's necessary to dig up the plant before the first heavy frost. Trim the top to 8 centimeters and store the roots in sand or sawdust over winter, replanting them in spring. In warmer climates, heavily mulch the plant over winter. Come spring, allow the plant to flower and go to seed. When the long green pods turn brown, individually pick them. Pour boiling water over the seeds to kill any bacteria, then let them thoroughly dry. Remove the pods and store Tat Soi Chinese cabbage seeds in a cool, dry place.
