Standing out among various pak choi is Pak Choi Red Inferno with its striking dark red leaves and vibrant green undersides. As a type of Chinese cabbage, it thrives with ease and speed, forming loose, spoon-shaped leaves in a deep red hue with lighter veins and contrasting green stems, reaching approximately 10 inches in length. As temperatures drop, the resilient leaves intensify in their rich red color. Offering a slightly distinct flavor from traditional green pak choi, Red Inferno presents a sharper, more mustard-like taste in both leaves and stems, while maintaining its satisfying crunchiness.
