GLOSSARY TERM

Bok Choy

A type of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa chinensis) that is highly valued in nutritional protocols for its high nutrient density and low lectin content. It is a cruciferous vegetable, meaning it contains glucosinolates, which support the body's natural detoxification processes and may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Bok choy is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium and antioxidants. In weight loss phases, it provides significant volume and fiber with very few calories, helping to promote satiety and gut health. Its mild flavor and versatility make it a preferred vegetable for maintaining dietary variety while adhering to strict metabolic guidelines.
