Michihli Chinese Cabbage:
The Cabbage Chinese Michihli ( haku-sai, pe-tsai), 'Brassica rapa (Pekinensis Group)', has such a mild, sweet flavor compared to regular cabbage that it can be used raw in salads. The Michihle has a texture between cabbage and lettuce. The leaves are mild and sweet, and do not cause digestion problems like regular cabbage. It can be grown nicely in 5 gallon containers. Chinese Cabbage prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Harvest the heads after they firm up and are solid but not too hard.
