Chinese Fruits and Vegetables

My ma sometimes tells me about herbs and I have no idea how to translate them into English typically. This is to provide a quick guide in case I am asked again in the future.


Myrica rubra


Also called yangmei, (Chinese: 杨梅; pinyin: yángméi; Cantonese: yeung4 mui4; Shanghainese: [ɦiɐ̃².mɛ⁴]), yamamomo (Japanese: ヤマモモ) Chinese bayberry or Chinese strawberry and often mistranslated from Chinese as arbutus. It is a subtropical tree grown for its fruit.

Commonly called Chinese mustard, Indian mustard, leaf mustard, vegetable mustard, it is a species of mustard plant. In Chinese it is called 芥菜 (jiècài). One variation of it is called snow mustard (雪里红).
