Napa cabbage has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. Its taste is more delicate compared to other cabbage varieties, such as green cabbage. The flavor of napa cabbage is often described as crisp, clean, and refreshing. When eaten raw, it has a pleasant and crunchy texture with a mild leafy sweetness. Cooked napa cabbage retains its crispness to some extent while becoming more tender and mellow in flavor. Its subtle taste allows it to easily blend with other ingredients and take on the flavors of seasonings and sauces used in various dishes.
