Cabbage Chinese Tokyo Bekana Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBrassica rapa var. pekinensis
Tokyo Bekana is a fast-growing Japanese leafy green prized for its bright lime-green leaves, delicate ruffled edges and slender white stems. Often described as the Japanese counterpart to Chinese cabbage, it combines exceptional tenderness with a mild, sweet flavour that appeals even to those who are not usually fond of brassicas.
Highly versatile and easy to grow, Tokyo Bekana can be harvested young as a baby leaf salad green or allowed to mature into larger leafy plants. The crisp, succulent leaves are delicious fresh in salads and sandwiches, while mature leaves are excellent steamed, added to soups or quickly stir-fried. When harvested by cutting the outer leaves, plants will continue producing fresh growth for multiple harvests.
Its rapid growth, attractive appearance and reliable performance make Tokyo Bekana a favourite for kitchen gardens, raised beds and cut-and-come-again production throughout much of the year.
