FAQs about water spinach

Because it's difficult to find out the sanitary conditions of the water where the water spinach grew, it's not usually recommended to eat the vegetable without cooking it first. To prepare the vegetable for cooking, rinse it very well to remove any grit or sand trapped in the leaves and stalks. Cut off and discard the first few inches of the stalks, as this portion is too fibrous and tough.

After removing the unwanted parts, cut the vegetable in half. The lower half, which consists mainly of the stalk, requires a longer cooking time, so you should separate this part from the leafy and more tender upper half. It might take a little practice to figure out the right interval of cooking time. However, once you get the hang of it, you'll surely be able to enjoy water spinach cooked just right in curries, stir-fries, or soups. 

Before you store your water spinach, make sure it's clean. Remove and discard any leaves that are wilted, slimy, yellow/brown, and don't look fresh. Then, wash your water spinach well. It's best to do this using a salad spinner. After washing the vegetable, lay it out flat and let it dry on a paper towel. Once it's dry, wrap it in paper towels to absorb excess moisture, place it in a bag, and then remove the air. You can then store the vegetable in the crisper drawer of your fridge.  

You can also place the water spinach in a plastic produce bag, but make sure to blow in some air to provide the vegetable with carbon dioxide. Then, store it properly in your fridge. 

Keep the vegetable away from ethylene-producing fruits, such as tomatoes and bananas, as these fruits can cause the water spinach to wilt and decay too quickly.
