How to Pick
Look for Gai Choy with vibrant green leaves and firm stems, as this indicates freshness. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves, as they may be past their prime.
Additionally, choose smaller, tender Gai Choy for a milder flavor, or larger ones for a more robust taste. It's also a good idea to check for any signs of insect damage or discoloration, as this can indicate spoilage. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you're getting the best quality Gai Choy for your dishes.
How to Store
Gai Choy should be stored in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag to maintain freshness. It is best to use it within a week of purchase to enjoy its optimal taste and texture. Avoid storing it in the crisper drawer as it may cause the leaves to wilt. Make sure to wash and pat dry the Gai Choy before storing to remove any excess moisture. If the Gai Choy starts to wilt, it can be revived by soaking it in ice water for a few minutes before using.
Where it’s Sourced
Our Gai Choy is carefully cultivated in the fertile soils of the Adelaide Hills and the Riverland in South Australia, where the cool climate and rich nutrients result in crisp, flavorful leaves that are perfect for a variety of dishes.
