I do enjoy locally grown bok choy. It has a bitter greens kick and minerality in addition to crunch. Maybe that has to do with the soil in our little patch of New England.
100% with you on the stuff I can get from the supermarket.
ETA: I made the mistake once of using the assertive bok choy in a greens pie once. Whoops. Never again as the texture and flavor weren’t pleasant for that.
