About Morning glory

Morning Glory, also known as water spinach or “kangkong” in Southeast Asia, is a vibrant green leafy vegetable widely used in Asian cuisines like Thai, Vietnamese, and Filipino dishes. Known for its tender stems and mild, earthy flavor, it is often stir-fried with garlic, chili, and soy sauce or added to soups and curries. Nutritionally, Morning Glory is a powerhouse of vitamins A and C, which support immunity and skin health, as well as iron and calcium for strong bones and improved blood health. It's also rich in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health. Low in calories and fat-free, it’s an excellent choice for balanced diets. However, individuals with certain kidney concerns should consume it in moderation due to its oxalate content. A versatile and nutrient-dense vegetable, Morning Glory is a delicious way to add flavor and health benefits to your meals.
