Florida Chinese Vegetables

Chinese VegetablesApproximately 3,000 – 3,500 acres of Chinese vegetables are grown in Palm Beach County. The majority is grown in the sandlands, with a couple of hundred acres also being grown in the EAA. Most of the vegetables are being marketed in areas with large Asian populations, such as New York, Boston, Toronto, and Washington D.C. The term “Chinese vegetables” is rather broad and includes crops from multiple families. Examples of crops grown in Palm Beach County are: napa (tight-heading Chinese cabbage), Chihili (semi-loose headed Chinese cabbabe), bok choy and baby bok choy, u-choy (flowering bok choy), choy-sum (heading bok choy), Chinese broccoli (gai lon), Chinese mustard, and Oriental radish.
