Water spinach can be divided into green-stem water spinach and white-stem water spinach based on the color of the vegetable.

Moreover, the stems and leaves of green-stemmed water spinach are actually green, and the color when fried is particularly beautiful. The taste is delicious and refreshing, and it is also very pleasing to the eye. The advantage of white-stem water spinach is that it has less fiber and has a crisp yet soft texture. It is very suitable for children or the elderly at home with bad teeth. If there are elderly and children at home, you can buy white-stem water spinach for consumption. Varieties

At the same time, large-leaf water spinach with green stems is relatively common in places like Guangdong and Guangxi, and is somewhat tough and difficult to chew. Although it is not that crispy, tender and juicy, and the aroma is not particularly strong, it is still ok with rice. The large-leaf water spinach with white stems is actually relatively rare. Many people think it is a Hong Kong variety, and the texture and taste of this dish are actually very similar to the thin-leaf water spinach with white stems. Rich in nutrients

Therefore, you can see that water spinach is still very rich in nutrients. Eating more of it in summer will be of great benefit to the body.
