    There are several types of Pak Choi, yes.

    Here is a link to a seed company with some pictures of the types they sell:

    I love Pak Choi - it's wonderful served with soy sauce! yum! I've never had any that was bitter, personally.

      I don't think that Pak Choi is bitter either, love the stuff but then again so do the slugs in my garden so I've never been very exactly a big cropper for me!

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        Hello Murfe, Pak Choi comes in many varieties. I'm growing it for the first time this year. It germinates easily and grows on quickly. Eating it already. I find it delicious and not bitter at all. I certainly intend to keep the repeat sowings going to get it for as much of the year as possible. It can be intercropped with slower growing things as it will be eaten before the other crops need the space.

        From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

          Hi Murfe,

          I have been growing pak soy for some times... I agree with the other, pak soy don't taste bitter at all, but mustard do and some of them do look a bit alike with pak soy( brassica ). Here are seed company which I used to get my brassicas & oriental seeds ( they came with some picture which will help to indentify what you have grown ) :

            I remember it grows better in a cool season so wait till end of the summer. also you get mini resprouts if you cut it. However, i'm with you Alison there was too much competition for it!
