This week's veggie is a guest post from my pal Lynn Haraldson Bering, who blogs at -- among other places -- Lynn's Weigh: The Journey Continues. This time last year I sent Lynn an e-mail after reading of her 168-pound weight loss in People magazine and we became friends. Cool thing, this Internet. She recently wrote about the wonders of bok choy. You can read the entire post HERE but here's an excerpt:
Eight ounces of bok choy has just 30 calories, only a trace of fat, 5 grams
of carbs, 3 grams of fiber, nearly 4 grams of protein, 240 mg of
calcium (that’s nearly 25 percent of daily recommended calcium intake
for women 18-50) and 570 mg of potassium (strive to get 4,700 mg a day).
I’m going to add bok choy like I would spinach to vegetable soup and eat it as is in a salad, too. The key around my neck of the woods is finding bok choy that doesn’t look like it just got off a 2-year boat trip from China.
