I first got acquainted with Chinese cabbage in the late 90s, when my family and I went on a tour to Prague, in those days we didn’t have such products at all. Standing in front of a vegetable counter in a supermarket, I could not understand what it was, a salad or cabbage, especially since the name was in Czech ... Actually, until the end of the 70s, Beijing cabbage, or, as it is also called , chinese salad, was a rather scarce commodity not only in our country, but throughout Europe and even in America, because it was mainly imported from its homeland - China, where it has been cultivated since about the 6th century. Only relatively recently has it ceased to be a rarity in stores. This is due, first of all, to the breeding of new varieties that allow it to be successfully grown in the conditions of the European climate. The results of the work of breeders are obvious - Beijing cabbage can now be bought in every supermarket at any time of the year.
