Chinese or Celery Cabbage 
Chinese cabbage, strictly speaking, is not 
of the cabbage family. Although listed as 
(Brassica Pekinenses), it is a mustard, and the 
correct name of the species is Pe Tsai. One 
of the important vegetables in China, it has 
been an article of diet for 40 centuries. A 
U.S.D.A. plant explorer first brought it to 
this country about 1850, but it has become 
popular only in recent years. 
The vegetable resembles Cos or Romaine 
lettuce, but in size and appearance more like 
Swiss Chard. The inside blanched leaves and 
heavy midrib have a very pleasing, delightful 
celery-lettuce flavor. Some separate its mid- 
rib from the leaves, creaming as asparagus 
and use the thinner parts of the leaves much 
the same as lettuce. Used for salads, the 
heads are crisp and tender.

eter with a creamy-white interior.
