Water spinach, Water Morning glory, Hollow shoot water plant, etc has so many names depending on the language of the produce guy at the market. I ate much of this when I traveled in Viet Nam, and at a few wonderful 'Chinese" restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown.
One dish has a black bean sauce and my mouth waters thinking about it.
@Fredkas asked my about this as a second language speaker. I'm not so good at English sometimes let alone any other language.
The wiki page is available in many languages.
In short Water Spinach is an acceptable food item, it is in the same genus as sweet potato. Sweet potato leaves are okay to feed as well.
This is also the same family as morning glory which the TTT forbids. They are extremely conservative. If anything it is likely high in oxolates, so fed sparingly if you are an oxolate-phob is okayish.
Let the debate and counter -pedia POV begin!!!!
