My chocolate vine has fruited! Are these not the strangest fruit you've ever seen?!

I don't know how I hadn't clocked it before, but I noticed a couple of these fruit on my chocolate vine this morning. It's been growing a couple of years, but this is the first year I've had any fruit. They look like something from an alien planet! Does anyone else have any of these curious things? Apparently you can eat them but I'm not sure I'm brave enough!

They taste like passionfruit 😊 I've eaten them from my chocolate vine before.

Edible they may be, but the look of them puts me off somewhat... Grin

I’m trying to persuade myself to be brave and try them but haven’t quite convinced myself yet! 😂

Have you plucked up the courage yet? Wink

Crazycat.. do you eat the whole inside bit? Are there seeds?
Just curious!

It’s the white pulp you eat. It’s possible that fruit is a bit old and dried up. Google Akebia fruit.

@Wildwood6 have you heard about the theory that eating different 30 plants a week improves gut health?

I think you should definitely try it and report back! Grin
