In this study,the plant morphology of local Chinese cabbage〔Brassicacampestris L.ssp.chinensis(L.)Makino varcommunis Tsen et Lee〕‘Jinhua Houdagaojiao’(for short as‘Houdabai’)was observed and its nutritional quality was tested.The results indicated that its moisture content is significantly lower than that of the two control varieties‘Hangzhouyoudonger’and‘Zaoshu No.5’,the crude fiber and total soluble sugar content of‘Houdabai’is higher than that of‘Hangzhouyoudonger’and notably higher than that of‘Zaoshu No.5’.The zinc content of‘Houdabai’is also higher than that of the two control varieties.It was 1.9 times of‘Zaoshu No.5’,and 4.7 times of‘Hangzhouyoudonger’.However,the contents of VC,kalium,phosphor and amino acid were almost the same as‘Hangzhouyoudonger’,but obviously higher than‘Zaoshu No.5’.
