Lemonvine (Pereskia aculeata)

New edible on my ground is the Lemonvine (Pereskia aculeata). A scrambling vine that is native to tropical America.



Stunning flowers of Lemonvine!



The leaves and fruits are edible, containing high quantities of protein, iron and other nutrients, and it is a popular vegetable in parts of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The fruit is somewhat resembles the gooseberry in appearance and is of excellent flavor.
