bok choy with pomegranate seeds

September 8, 2013 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

After eating holiday meals for three days my daughters needed something simple and cleansing. Bok choy is packed with Vitamins A and C which work as antioxidants. A member of the cabbage family, it is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and Vitamin K, all bone strengtheners. Pomegranate seeds, full of antioxidants, may increase oxygen flow to the heart and reduce arthritic inflammation.

When water is boiling rapidly add the bok choy. It will cook very quickly – in less than one minute. When the leaves turn a brighter green, add the soy sauce.
