JenneinCA Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would. I will actually, tomorrow. We are having stir fry and the bok choy has holes in the leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yes. I do. Sometimes I rip a bit of the leaves off where it might be particularly holey mainly because those parts often seem to be a bit discolored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Al the time. Kale as well.:D Soak in a sink of water for a time, then dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calendula Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yes! Our bok choi always seems to be a bit gritty, so we do a triple rinse first. That also gets rid of crawlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krorabaugh Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yep I would still use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabi Sabi Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yep. I grow my own bok choy and it pretty much always has a few holes. Same with kale. I just make sure to rinse it several times very thoroughly and put through the salad spinner to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yes. I would actually take it as a good sign--that it might not been doused with so many pesticides that nothing could live in the field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 LOL, yes. I get mine from my own garden, and sometimes there are holes because I don't use pesticides. It tastes the same. (Maybe better....I mean, I check for little cabbage caterpillars, but you never know.... :tongue_smilie: ) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassoonaroo Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yes, and the good thing is that the holes have NO calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingHope Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If the bugs will eat it, then it is safe for humans to eat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah.. I'd chop it up, fill a bowl full of water to wash it in and dump a cup or two of vinegar in, stir, and let it soak ten minutes to kill bacteria, but I do that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xixstar Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 One of the best lessons about growing our own food was how real food looks compared to supermarket "perfect" produce. Our food gets bites and holes and sometimes just looks really strange and odd shaped. Luckily, it all still tastes wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
