Ipomoea aquatica seed
LATIN NAME: IPOMOEA AQUATICA
COMMON NAME: Water Spinach, Kangkung, Swamp Cabbage
The water spinach is a generous and productive plant of the warm wetlands, and its long, hollow stems and its tender, green shoots have made it one of the most loved of the green vegetables of the warm world. It grows as a semi-aquatic, tropical plant of the morning glory family, with long, trailing or floating, hollow stems rooting at the nodes, bearing long, arrow-shaped, green leaves and, in the warm season, trumpet-shaped, white or pale-pink flowers, followed by capsules of small seeds, while the tender shoots and the young leaves are the parts that are harvested and eaten as the vegetable. It is commonly known as the water spinach or the kangkung, and it is a semi-aquatic, tropical plant grown as a vegetable for its tender shoots, while it is generally believed to have been first domesticated in the region, and it is one of the most loved of the green vegetables of the warm world.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The water spinach has a genuine and distinguished place in both food and agricultural research. It has been studied in food science and nutrition, since the tender shoots and the young leaves are one of the most loved of the green vegetables of the warm world, and researchers have examined the shoots, their composition, their value and their place in the diet, while the water spinach has been a beloved vegetable of the stir-fry and the soup of the warm world for a very long time, and its nutrition has drawn attention in the international food and nutrition press as a generous green vegetable of the warm world. The plant has also been studied in agriculture, since it is a semi-aquatic, tropical plant grown as a vegetable, and researchers have examined its cultivation, its growth in the water and the moist soil and its yield, while the growing of the water spinach in the wet fields and the waterways has been examined, and the improvement of the tender and the productive varieties has been of continuing interest. The species has also been studied in botany and ecology, since it is a member of the morning glory family, and its classification, its growth and its role in the wetland community have been examined. For a vegetable of such generosity, the water spinach has a rich and distinguished record of research.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Water Spinach from seed, ecologically, the water spinach is a generous plant of the warm wetlands. Its trumpet-shaped flowers feed the bees and the insects, and its long, hollow stems give cover in the water and the moist soil, while it is a beloved presence in the ponds, the ditches and the wet fields of the warm world. Its economic value is real: the tender shoots and the young leaves are a beloved vegetable of the stir-fry and the soup of the warm world, and their nutrition has drawn attention in the international food and nutrition press as a generous green vegetable of the warm world, while the water spinach is also grown widely for the fresh market. To bring the water spinach on, sow the seeds on the surface of moist, rich compost in a sunny, damp spot, press them in lightly with the palm, keep them well watered, and grow the little plants on in the warmth.

Kangkong, a green leafy plant with narrow or broad leaves, is native to southern China and Southeast Asia. Narrow-leaved upland kangkong and broadleaved lowland kangkong produce 5- to 6-inch leaves. Only young kangkong shoots are eaten, either steamed, sauteed in oil or canned. Since kangkong is bland on its own, spices are added to enhance its flavor. While kangkong is an important vegetable in many Asian countries, it is not common in the United States. Kangkong is a perennial but grows year-round in tropical climates. However, growing it as an annual decreases the chance of pests and diseases
