Shanghai paksoy is one of the more famous varieties of this tasty leafy vegetable. The Shanghai version has its smaller size in common with mini paksoy. The difference is mainly in the upright leaves. Together with the stems, they fold around each other like a package. The vegetable has a firm texture.

The taste is savoury and cabbage-like, making it an ideal addition to many Asian recipes.

Growing and harvesting

At the grower's

Its origin may be Chinese, but Shanghai paksoy is also easy to grow under European conditions. The Netherlands and Spain are our production countries. There, Shanghai paksoy starts as a seed that is grown into a small plant in the greenhouse. The plants grow very quickly. The paksoy is ready for harvesting after only 3 to 4 weeks. This is very different during the winter period, when this can take up to 3 months.

The crop is cut just above the soil and immediately goes into its final packaging. After cooling down, the Shanghai paksoy is ready for transport to Nature's Pride.
