Thai Spinach (water spinach / pak bung)

Quick verdict

Status: unknown - for your review.

Confidence: low (AI-prepopulated from general food properties, not your own reactions).

Claimed concern

'Thai spinach' most often means water spinach / morning glory (Ipomoea aquatica, pak bung); it can also refer to Ceylon spinach (Basella). Both are leafy greens that are low in sugar but relatively HIGH in oxalate, which matters if you are oxalate-sensitive. Not a nightshade. Confirm which plant you mean.

Decision notes

Low-sugar green; the main watch-point is oxalate. Note which species you actually eat.
