Cyclanthera brachystachya
Has anyone eaten the shoots and leaves of this? Mine is growing vigorously, but there are lots of fleshy shoots, plenty of flowers, but no fruit. A Web search indicates that the shoots and leaves of C. pedata are edible, but with some indication that they may be dangerous to some people or in overdose. But there is nothing either way for C. brachystachya. Being a cucurbit, I am a bit cautious, but there aren't many in that family that are lethally poisonous in small quantities (unlike the solanaceae and leguminoseae). Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
