Thai Water Spinach Kangkong - 100 Seeds

Description

Commonly called Water Spinach, Kangkong or goes by many names around the world. With spinach-like leaves with long hollow stems, indeed the Mandarin for water spinach is Kong xin cai，which literally means ‘empty-hearted vegetable’. Almost all parts of the young plant are edible, but the tender shoot tips and younger leaves are preferred. The spinach-like leaves are mild and tender and without any trace of the oxalic acid taste of regular spinach and the long hollow stalks have the advantage of holding onto all flavourings they are cooked with and stay crunchy even when wilted. No wonder it is one of the most popular greens in southeast Asia.
