Also known as Indian mustard, mustard cabbage, and Swatow mustard, Gai Choy has curled leaves that form a head and has wide, crunchy stems. The flavor is mild when young and makes an excellent baby green (heads form as plants mature). Cooking also softens the flavor. Enjoy as a salad green in just 40 days and braise, stir-fry, or pickle when mature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"section1_tab_1552\" class=\"tab-pane active\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBrassica juncea\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esubsp.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintegrifolia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e40–60 Days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBrassicaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWidespread, probably Asia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFrost-tolerant annual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6\"–10\" wide and 10\"–12\" tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHead-forming traditional Chinese mustard with crinkled, medium green leaf tips and light green to white, broad, crisp midribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"section3_tab_1552\" class=\"tab-pane\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHarvest in the morning if possible.
