The Milkweed Vine is
a perennial vine from South America that has ivy shaped, deep green leaves and
curious, star-shaped flowers. The greenish-white flowers have a lovely vanilla
fragrance. It has large, green seed pods that are filled with tufted, black
seeds. It is grown as an ornamental for its flowers and its pods but it is also
edible and is used as a vegetable in areas where it occurs naturally. Nearly
all of the plant above ground is edible but prized is the fruit. It should be
picked when about the size of a tennis ball then boiled or roasted for about 40
minutes. The flavor is a cross between a zucchini and a potato. It is
highly esteemed in South America. It produces continuously in frost-Fast areas.
As with most milkweeds it will support the growth of larval Monarch
caterpillars.
