About Kangkung

Kangkung, also known as water spinach or morning glory, is a leafy green vegetable popular in Southeast Asian and East Asian cuisines. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, it is widely used in stir-fries, soups, and curries, especially in dishes from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Rich in vitamins A and C, Kangkung is a good source of antioxidants that promote skin health and immunity. It also offers minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, which support energy levels and maintain healthy blood pressure. Additionally, it contains dietary fiber, aiding digestion and gut health. Low in calories and fat, it is a versatile option for weight-conscious diets. However, as a water-grown plant, it can accumulate pollutants, making thorough washing and sourcing important. Nutritious and flavorful, Kangkung provides a delicious way to incorporate essential nutrients into your meals.
