Our Verdict
When comparing savoy cabbage to bok choy, we picked the savoy.
Why?
In terms of macros, the savoy has a little more protein, just under 3x the carbs, and just over 3x the fiber. A modest yet respectable win for savoy.
In the category of vitamins, savoy has more of vitamins B1, B5, B9, E, and K, while bok choy has more of vitamins A, B2, B3, and C. Thus, a marginal 5:4 win for savoy.
Looking at minerals, savoy has more copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while bok choy has more calcium, iron, and potassium. So this time, a 7:3 win for savoy.
In other considerations, bok choy scores higher on the polyphenols side, especially in the categories of kaempferol and quercetin.
Still, adding up the sections, we conclude this one’s an overall win for savoy cabbage. Of course, enjoy either or both, though, as diversity is best!
