There’s a lot of confusion here. Napa cabbage is Chinese cabbage, but not bok choy. Its other names are celery cabbage, hakusai, wong bok, pekinensis and Peking cabbage.
Napa is for the California fields where it grows. Its heads are light green and tightly packed, crisp and mild. It is chopped for stir-fry and sautés and eaten raw in salads. It is a good source of vitamin A, folic acid and potassium.
