I've used it as a staple for years alongside other staples. Try not to get too caught up in only feeding items labeled as staples, or avoiding things labeled as occasional. They are simply recommendations and guidelines to help you make decisions. Unless a food item has near toxic levels of something, most things will be ok.
The goal of those charts is to push the goal of feeding nutrient dense foods, and bok choy fits that bill.
In bok choys case, it's the high level of vitamin a that keeps it from being listed as a staple green. Which isnt really a concern. Bok choy is packed full of a multitude of micronutrients and loads of other goodies for health.
If you go over with us what else you have available, we can help you pick some more items too.

Hi! I'm on the other end of Canada but have a similar issue lol. If you have a Metro or Farm Boy anywhere near you check there, I seem to have the most luck at those stores.

I know there are farmers markets throughout North America (and likely elsewhere); try to make use of them while the season is still upon us; they shut down shortly after harvest in the fall, but should be booming right about now.
Best, least expensive source of fresh produce I know of. :wink:

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
