:Well, I don't know if that green can be found in Brazil or not... just that there is a name for it in the Portuguese language. There's a name for it in English, too, but I'd never seen it or heard of it before. But you can try looking in Asian markets in Brazil; maybe you'll find it. :-)
::And you did that in 3 languages!!!
::Yes, today when I woke up I went to the kitchen to check the name of the greens and it is Kangkong (my maid pronouces Khan khun or kankun)and it looks just like in the photo.I didnt know that this greens exist in Brazil(batata aquatica???)but anyway my igs love this stuff and as the leaves are very tender even the baby igs can eat it easily!!Thank you for the information about the calcium and phosphorus level!!It's a pity this thing does not exist in USA because it is the food the igs like the most in Malaysia!!

:::I think I may have found your green. It's called "water convolvulus" in English, and the site I found it on says it's "kangkong" in Malay. In Portuguese it's "batata acquatica." Here's the pic:

:::Does it look like the same thing to you? By the way, I found the stuff at http://www.nre.vic.gov.au/trade/asiaveg/index.htm (Access to Asian Vegetables - they have a vegetable thesaurus!).

::::My igs LOVE that green thing.It's name in Malaysian is Khan Khun but I never saw it before.People from the petshop where I bought T-Rex and Kenya recommended me to give Khan Khun to my igs but I dont know the name in English or in Portuguese and I dont know if I can give this to them.Do you know what is that??
