Sayur Kangkung

Kangkung memang daun yang berserat dan cukup sulit untuk dicerna. Orang-orang selama ini sering beranggapan bahwa serat yang sulit dicerna ini menyebabkan tubuh kita membutuhkan lebih banyak oksigen. Logikanya, oksigen yang menuju kepala akhirnya diserap ke perut dan usus untuk membantu pencernaan kangkung.

Kangkung atau Ipomoea reptans terdiri dari dua varietas, yakni kangkung darat yang disebut kangkung cina dan kangkung air yang tumbuh secara alami di sawah, rawa, atau parit. Perbedaan antara kangkung darat dan kangkung air terletak pada warna bunga. Kangkung air berbunga putih kemerah-merahan, sedangkan kangkung darat berbunga putih bersih. Perbedaan lainnya terletak pada bentuk daun dan batang. Kangkung air berbatang dan berdaun lebih besar dibandingkan kangkung darat. Warna batangnya juga bebeda. Kangkung air berbatang hijau, sedangkan kangkung darat berbatang putih kehijau-hijauan. Selain itu, kangkung darat lebih banyak bijinya daripada kangkung air. Itulah sebabnya kangkung darat diperbanyak lewat biji, sedangkan kangkung air diperbanyak dengan menggunakan stek pucuk batang.

Tanaman kangkung berasal dari India, yang kemudian menyebar ke Malaysia, Birma, Indonesia, Cina Selatan, Australia, dan Afrika. Kangkung banyak ditanam di Pulau Jawa, khususnya di Jawa Barat. Kangkung termasuk suku Convolvulaceae atau keluarga kangkung-kangkungan, merupakan tanaman yang tumbuh cepat dan memberikan hasil dalam waktu 4-6 minggu sejak dari benih. Kangkung memiliki kandungan gizi yang cukup tinggi. Selain mengandung vitamin A, B1, dan C, kangkung juga mengandung protein, kalsium, fosfor, besi, karoten, dan sitosterol.
