Water morning glory (water spinach, water convolvulus, Ipomoea aquatica) is a fast-growing aquatic or semi-aquatic plant native to the tropical regions of Asia and Australia. It has been naturalized in many other parts of the world due to its popularity as an edible vegetable. The plant can grow up to 3 meters long with leaves that are up to 25 centimeters wide.
The flower is white, trumpet-shaped, and blooms during the day. It produces a single seed per fruit, which matures and turns brown when ripe. Water morning glories are often used in salads, stir-fries, and other dishes due to their mild flavor and crunchy texture. However, they can be toxic if ingested in large quantities or by people with certain health conditions.
