Napa or nappa cabbage (Brassica rapa pekinensis) is a member of the mustard, or Brassicaceae, family. It is a type of Chinese cabbage that is also known as Peking cabbage, Chinese leaf, celery cabbage, wong nga bok, siu choy, hakusai, pechay, tsina, and pai-tsai. The name "nappa" comes from Japanese, where nappa (菜っ葉) refers to leafy green vegetables. The flavor is sweeter than green cabbage. The leaves are long and crispy.

Unwashed Napa cabbage stores well refrigerated, and will keep for about five to seven days in the vegetable crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Do not cut the leaves or ribs until you are ready to use them. Cut leaves begin to oxidize rapidly, and the cabbage will lose some of its vital nutrients and will spoil faster. When it is at its freshest, use it raw in salads but as it gets older keep it for cooking only.
