Braised Baby Cabbage with Chestnuts

Overview

At first glance, baby cabbage looks like a small, ungrown Chinese cabbage, but it is not the case. The nutritional value of baby cabbage is exactly the same as that of Chinese cabbage, and even the taste is the same. The price of baby cabbage is much more expensive than that of Chinese cabbage. It is usually only found in supermarkets because it is rarely seen in expensive markets. The baby cabbage is packaged in high-quality products, and a bag of 2-3 pieces costs 7-8 yuan. When buying baby cabbage, buy the bright yellow ones. It is said to be the best among baby cabbage. It is said to be produced in Yunnan. It is usually most popular in late spring and early winter. Since baby cabbage has a more delicate texture than Chinese cabbage, it is more popular even though it is more expensive. I also often buy some baby cabbage to make soups, and sometimes I make baby cabbage with black bean paste, which is my daughter’s favorite. Every time I make it, my daughter eats the baby cabbage soup with black bean paste and rice. It is said that all the nutrition of the baby cabbage is in the soup, which is appetizing and nutritious. Baby cabbage has a sweet taste and is slightly more expensive than ordinary cabbage. Its nutritional value is similar to that of Chinese cabbage. It is rich in vitamins and selenium and has high chlorophyll content. It has rich nutritional value. Baby cabbage is also rich in fiber and trace elements, which can also help prevent colon cancer.
