Description
Kangkong Spinach, also known as Water Spinach or River Spinach, is a semi-aquatic, tropical plant widely used in Asian cuisine. Known for its tender, hollow stems and elongated, arrow-shaped leaves, Kangkong Spinach is appreciated for its mild flavor and versatility in cooking.
Kangkong is typically grown in wet, marshy environments or can be cultivated in moist soil with plenty of water. It is a fast-growing, herbaceous plant that thrives in warm, sunny conditions. The leaves and stems are often stir-fried, sautéed, or used in soups and salads, making it a staple green vegetable in many Asian dishes.
