Common products: edible leafy vegetable from young leaves and shoots; ornamental aquatic plant for water gardens and aquaria.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
Young leaves and shoots are used as a leafy vegetable in Southeast Asian cuisines. Plants are harvested from wild stands and from cultivation; leaves are cleaned and cooked (often boiled or blanched, then stir-fried) before consumption to reduce bitterness. The commodity form is fresh leaves/shoots marketed as a vegetable in local markets.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
Cultivated as an ornamental plant for its yellow flowers and aquatic foliage in water gardens and aquaria; occasionally supplied through the ornamental aquatic plant trade.
