又名黄芽菜。《咸淳临安志》记载：冬季选取巨大的白菜，用草覆盖，堆积久了之后去掉腐烂的部分，叶子呈现黄白色且鲜艳晶莹，因此得名“黄菜”。
《万历杭州府志》记载：杭州人将其讹传为“黄雅菜”。《戒庵漫笔》记载：黄矮菜在杭州被称为“花交菜”。《群芳谱》记载：燕京（北京）的菜农将马粪放入地窖中，用来培土种植白菜，使其不久就晒不到风日，从而长出嫩苗和叶片，全部呈嫩黄色，质地脆美没有渣滓，称为“黄芽菜”，这是白菜的一个变种，茎和叶都是扁平的。
味道甘、温，无毒，能通利肠胃，消除胸中烦闷，解除酒后口渴，通利大、小便，调和脾胃并止咳，冬季的汁液效果尤其好。
【食物宜忌】
味道甘。
按语：黄矮菜有南方、北方两种。南方出产的，只有杭州城太平门外沙地产的最为优良，其他地方产的都高大硕粗、松散，完全没有卷心密叶的特点，味道也较差；北方出产的是由运粮船带来的，味道更鲜美，质地更细腻，而且没有粗筋，有的重达十几斤一颗，在南方也不容易得到。陈确斋说：食用它能滋润肌肤，通利五脏，并且能降气清音。只是它的性质滑利泄泻，患痢疾的人不要服用。

《汪连仕方》记载：又名玉盘茄，有大、小两种，大的像鸡蛋，小的像手指头，初生时颜色白，老了则皮变黄；能深入筋骨驱逐风邪，治疗各种瘫痪。根名为“白风藤”，配合酒蒸服；茄子果实蘸硫黄粉，擦拭白癜风，可去除大麻风。广东地区茄园出产的品质好，称为“茄丸”。
叶：治疗肠红（大便下血）。刘羽仪验方：使用白茄子叶，经过霜冻后才采摘，刷洗干净毛刺，去掉焦黄的叶子，阴干，取三四片叶子，煎煮成浓汤，这样吃三到四次，出血就会停止，永不复发。此方曾用于被疯狗咬过的人，但此类患者不可服用。
Also known as Huangya Cai (Yellow Sprout Vegetable). *Xianchun Lin'an Zhi* records: In winter, large cabbages are selected and covered with straw. After a long period of accumulation, the rotten parts are removed; the leaves turn yellowish-white and appear fresh and lustrous, hence the name "Huang Cai" (Yellow Vegetable).
*Wanli Hangzhou Fu Zhi* records: People in Hangzhou mispronounced it as "Huang Ya Cai". *Jie'an Manbi* records: Huang'ai Cai is called "Huajiao Cai" in Hangzhou. *Qunfang Pu* records: Gardeners in Yanjing (Beijing) place horse manure into cellars to fertilize and cultivate cabbage, preventing it from being exposed to wind and sunlight for a short time. This encourages the continuous growth of shoots and leaves, which become all tender yellow, crisp, delicious, and free of fibrous residue. It is called "Huangya Cai". It is a distinct variety of Chinese cabbage, with flat stems and leaves.
It is sweet and warm in nature, non-toxic. It promotes gastrointestinal function, relieves chest irritability, alleviates post-drinking thirst, facilitates urination and defecation, harmonizes the middle jiao (digestive system), and stops coughing. The juice extracted in winter is particularly effective.
[Dietary Preferences and Taboos]
Taste is sweet.
Note: There are two types of Huang'ai Cai: Southern and Northern. Among those produced in the south, only those from the sandy soil outside Taiping Gate in Hangzhou City are considered superior. Those from other places are tall, coarse, and loose, lacking the characteristic tightly wrapped heart and dense leaves, and their taste is inferior. Those brought by northern grain transport ships have a better taste, finer texture, and no coarse fibers. Some weigh over ten jin (approx. 5-6 kg) per head, which is also hard to obtain in the south. Chen Quzhai stated: Consuming it moistens the skin, benefits the five zang organs, and can descend qi to clear the voice. However, its nature is slippery and laxative; therefore, persons suffering from dysentery should not consume it.
[Leaves and Stems/Pedicels]
*Wang Lianshi Fang* records: Also known as Yupan Qie (Jade Plate Eggplant). There are large and small varieties; the large ones are like chicken eggs, and the small ones are like fingers. When young, they are white; when mature, the skin turns yellow. They can penetrate the bones and drive out wind pathogens, treating various forms of paralysis. The root is named Baifeng Teng (White Wind Vine); steamed with wine, it is taken internally. The fruit of the eggplant dipped in sulfur powder is used to rub vitiligo, helping to eliminate leprosy. Those produced in eggplant gardens in Guangdong are of good quality and are called "Qie Wan".
Leaves: Treat intestinal bleeding (hematochezia). Liu Yuyi's Verified Prescription: Use leaves of white eggplants, harvested only after frost. Brush off the hairs, remove scorched yellow leaves, and dry them in the shade. Take three or four leaves, decoct them into a thick soup, and drink this three to four times. The bleeding will stop and never recur. Note: This prescription must not be taken by individuals who have been bitten by rabid dogs.
Stems/Pedicels: Treat back carbuncles (Fa Bei) and the initial stage of all toxic sores and abscesses. *Wei Shui Xuan Za Ji* records: Use seven white eggplant pedicels and an equal amount of raw Polygonum multiflorum (Shou Wu), decocted in wine and taken orally, which will cause the swelling to dissipate.
