Product Description

Thai Morning Glory is a popular leafy vegetable widely used in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine. Botanically identified as Ipomoea aquatica, it is an aquatic or semi-aquatic plant with long, hollow stems and tender green leaves.

Known in Thailand as pak boong (ผักบุ้ง), morning glory is commonly prepared in stir-fries with garlic, chilli, and savoury sauces. It is also used in soups, curries, noodle dishes, and other regional recipes. Its tender stems and leaves cook quickly and provide a fresh, mild, green flavour.

Blue Jay Oriental Foods supplies Thai-origin fresh produce for importers, wholesalers, Asian supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and foodservice distributors. Product grading, stem length, bunch size, packaging, and order quantities can be confirmed with the supplier before shipment.

Microbiological Status

Fresh Thai Morning Glory is an agricultural product and is not commercially sterile. Microbiological quality depends on growing conditions, water quality, harvesting, handling, packaging, storage, and transport.

Wash thoroughly with potable water before preparation and consumption. Cook as appropriate for the intended dish. Microbiological testing results should only be stated when supported by relevant supplier or laboratory documentation.

Chemical & Residue Compliance

Pesticide residues and other relevant chemical contaminants must comply with the applicable requirements of the destination market. Supplier declarations or laboratory test reports should be provided where available or required.
