Water Spinach

Water Spinach is a tender, fast-growing leafy green common across Southeast Asian cuisines (often called pak boong, kangkung or morning glory) and typically stir-fried, blanched or added to soups. It is very low in calories and provides 2.1g of fiber per 100g, making it a light, filling vegetable accompaniment. Nutritionally it delivers a small amount of protein and is a rich source of several vitamins and minerals—notably vitamin K, vitamin C and provitamin A—while being very low in fat. Because of its fiber and micronutrient content, Water Spinach is excellent for adding bulk and vitamins to meals; it also supplies antioxidants like vitamin C and carotenoids that support immune and eye health.
