What does PETSAI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A leafy Chinese cabbage grown for its tightly packed head.
Petsai reached English through Chinese cooking traditions, where the vegetable is prized for its mild, sweet leaves rather than the sharper bite of common cabbage. Cooks blanch or ferment petsai whole, since the loose head holds seasoning well. The same plant is often sold under the name napa cabbage, though petsai remains the older term in reference books.
