Health Benefits of Kangkong
Kangkong also known as swamp cabbage or water spinach has so many health benefits that many people do not know about. Contrary to its being labeled a poor man’s vegetable, Kangkong is rich in carotene, vitamins and minerals that is excellent for one’s health.
Kangkong grows practically everywhere, but usually in swamps. However, I prefer the home grown ones in the dry lands, otherwise known as upland kangkong, over the wild ones growing in the watery places. You have to be careful which one to buy.
Kangkong comes in varieties ranging from purple stemmed ones with narrow leaves to white stemmed ones with broad leaves. Kangkong is usually used as an ingredient in sinigang (sour stew). It can also be cooked as salad, adobo, and other appetizing dishes.
Kangkong is a good source of carotene, which in turn, can be converted to Vitamin A by the body. Kangkong is beneficial most especially to people suffering from hypertension. When ingested roughage, it helps eliminate fatty deposits in the alimentary canal that would otherwise lodge in the blood vessels. So, for those who are hypertensive, you can get the most out of the health benefits of kangkong, for less and even no price at all.
Ever wondered why there are less hypertensive poor individuals than the rich ones who dig into delicious food, and enjoy dining at expensive restos?
