About Water spinach
Water spinach, also known as kangkong or Chinese spinach, is a nutrient-rich leafy vegetable commonly used in Southeast Asian and Chinese cuisines. Its tender leaves and hollow stems make it versatile for stir-fries, soups, and salads. Packed with vitamins A and C, water spinach supports healthy vision, immune function, and skin health. It’s also an excellent source of iron, which aids in preventing anemia, and provides magnesium and potassium to help regulate blood pressure and muscle function. Low in calories and high in fiber, it promotes digestive health and weight management. However, in regions prone to water contamination, it’s essential to ensure proper cleaning and cooking, as water spinach can absorb pollutants. With its mild, slightly earthy flavor and array of health benefits, water spinach is a delicious and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
