About Kang kong
Kang Kong, also known as water spinach or Ipomoea aquatica, is a leafy green vegetable widely used in Southeast Asian, East Asian, and South Asian cuisines. Originating from tropical regions, it thrives in wet environments such as rivers and swamps. Kang Kong is rich in essential nutrients, including iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C, which support immune function, eye health, and bone strength. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, promoting digestion and gut health. Low in calories and fat, it is often included in healthy diets. However, it’s important to properly wash and cook Kang Kong, as raw or contaminated water spinach can harbor bacteria from its aquatic environment. Commonly stir-fried, steamed, or added to soups, Kang Kong offers a mild, earthy flavor and tender texture, making it a versatile and nutritious addition to any meal.
