How to Prepare:
Rinse thoroughly under clean water and remove any damaged or tough portions. Chop the tender leaves and stems to your preferred size. Waterleaf naturally contains a lot of moisture and wilts quickly, so you generally do not need to add much additional water when cooking it. Sundry Agro
Storage:
Keep refrigerated after delivery. Waterleaf is a delicate, highly perishable green, so use it as soon as possible for the best freshness and texture. Taste Lab
