apocolypse spinach, aka, swamp spinach, kangkong, kung-xin tsai, is an extremely prolific strain of spinach, which is quite common in the Phillipines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Bangledesh, and the Mariana Islands.
in the United States, swamp spinach is banned in most states (much too invasive and prolific). fortunately, out here in the Mariana Islands, which are new U.S. island territories, kangkong is not banned, and is a common vegetable raised and eaten by many.
as yummy as our Stateside baby spinach is, swamp spinach requires very little effort to grow, maintain, and harvest. so, now, whenever there's a hankering for yummy green veggies, i get the scissors, harvest a big handfull, and enjoy fresh apocolypse spinach (unbelievably delicious, and super healthy).
Swamp spinach, in Chinese, is literally, "empty-heart vegetable." Without the presence of the Lord in our lives, our hearts feel very empty.
