Water Spinach, a lush, leafy green also known as 'kangkong' or 'morning glory,' boasts slender, hollow stems and broad, arrow-shaped leaves. Its delicate, slightly sweet flavor is complemented by a crunchy texture, making it a well-loved ingredient in Asian cuisine. Whether stir-fried with pungent garlic and fiery chili or simmered in savory broths, Water Spinach adds a refreshing crispness to any dish. It's also popularly used in salads or as a blanched side dish complemented with a variety of sauces. Water Spinach is not only rich in water content but also offers a good source of nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and essential amino acids.
