chinese cabbage?

[jmacguff]

hello!

is it really that chinese cabbage is part of the 2-3 cups salad veggies??? i just can't believe it, cos 'cabbage' in general is in the 2nd list (1 cup a day) so ive always assumed chinese cabbage is one and the same. until i went through the sticky 'weight of vegetables per cup'.... anyway, just happy to know this cos ive always loved to put chinese cabbage in my beef stew!

Re: chinese cabbage?

Cabbage is allowed on the list as an "other vegetable" according to Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 edition, which is what we follow at ADBB. This "cabbage" includes all types of cabbage, like red cabbage, savoy cabbage, chinese cabbage, etc.

Bok choy, which is listed as a "salad" vegetable. It's also called "Chinese cabbage". But another cabbage, Napa cabbage, goes by the same generic term of "chinese cabbage".

This link has photos of both Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage.

Don't worry about it. It isn't going to ruin your Induction. Just go on from here limiting it.
