La Giang Leaves

La Giang Leaf is a sour leafy herb used in Vietnamese cooking, commonly added to soups and stews (for example canh chua) for its tart, lemony flavor. It is very light in energy at 24kcal per 100g and is typically used fresh or briefly cooked to add bright acidity to dishes. Nutritionally, La Giang Leaf provides modest amounts of fiber and plant protein and is notable as a source of fat‑soluble vitamins, particularly vitamin K and vitamin A, which contribute to bone and eye health. The leaves are low in fat and sodium when eaten plain, making them an easy way to boost vegetable intake. Overall, La Giang Leaf is a nutrient-dense leafy green that adds flavor without many calories; it contributes useful micronutrients and fiber to meals and pairs well with soups, fish, and other light dishes.
