Bok Choy is a leafy Fall vegetable and the quickest crop to grow in that season. It is ready only a few days after planting, so it brings in money early in Fall while slower crops are still growing. Its profit per day is modest, which makes it a starter or filler crop rather than a main earner. Bok Choy is one of the three ingredients in Kent's Super Meal. Most villagers like it as a gift, and it works as a green dye in tailoring.
Growing
Bok Choy grows through four one-day stages and gives a single harvest. Each plot is replanted after every cut.
The short cycle allows many plantings in one Fall. Planting on the first of Fall and replanting at once after each harvest gives six harvests before winter. The last few days of the season are left over, because no further cycle can finish in time. Wheat matches its growth speed, but no Fall crop from the shops is faster.
Pierre's General Store sells the seeds in Fall. JojaMart sells them at a higher price. A Seed Maker turns the crop back into seeds.
Speed-Gro and the Agriculturist profession shorten the cycle even further. Deluxe Fertilizer is the only way to reach iridium quality. Iridium Bok Choy restores much more energy and health than the normal crop.
Prices
Bok Choy earns a small profit on each seed. Six harvests in a row add up to a respectable season, but most other Fall crops earn more per day. Cranberries, Pumpkin, Artichoke and Beet all rank higher.
Where Bok Choy shines is cash flow. Its first harvest comes in before almost anything else in Fall, and the money can go straight into seeds for better crops.
As a vegetable, Bok Choy becomes Juice in a Keg or Pickles in a Preserves Jar. Pickles are worth more and take less time, so the jar suits it better. The Artisan profession adds forty percent to both. Processing more than doubles the value of each head, which helps a lot for a crop this cheap. The Tiller profession raises the raw price by ten percent instead.

Uses
Cooking Bok Choy with Cranberries and Artichoke makes the Super Meal. Kent mails the recipe once he reaches seven hearts of friendship. The meal restores a large amount of energy, raises maximum energy and adds a point of speed for a short time.
Bok Choy may turn up as a Fall request on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store. Delivering the Bok Choy pays three times its value and raises friendship with the villager who asked.
In tailoring, Bok Choy in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes a dyeable Button Down Shirt. It also gives a green colour in the Sewing Machine and fits the green dye pot in Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts
Bok Choy is a liked gift for most of the valley. Bok Choy is a welcome gift for the Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard. The older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam like it as well, as do the shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. Alex, Elliott, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sebastian and Shane like it too. So does Leo.
Abigail, Haley, Jas, Sam and Vincent dislike it.
Its fast growth makes liked gifts easy to come by. A small plot keeps a steady supply on hand through Fall.
Notes
Plant a few rows of Bok Choy on the first day of Fall alongside the slower crops. The early harvest pays for later seeds, and the frequent harvests add Farming experience quickly.
Keep one Bok Choy back for the Super Meal once Kent's friendship reaches seven hearts.
