Tatsoi rich in Calcium and Vitamin B

Curious as to what you can do with Tatsoi?  This versatile little green vegetable may have been overlooked in your veggie box for some time, just because it looks different.  But it is very meal worthy.  Mix Tatsoi with lettuces and other greens; drizzle with dressing or vinaigrette. Steam, wilt, lightly stir fry or sauté and serve as an accompaniment to chicken, fish, or other proteins or as a cooked, chilled salad. Toss in soups for flavor and texture or use as a bed or garnish. Make an awesome pesto.
Tatsoi is high in beta-carotene and Vitamins A, C, and K; calcium, potassium, phosphorous and iron.
