Elongated, light green heads with broad, white center ribs. Available in two forms: narrow, elongated head, often called celery cabbage, and thicker, blunt head, called napa cabbage. Tender but crisp, with a mild cabbage flavor. Adds excellent flavor to mixed green salads. Also used extensively in Chinese cooking.
