Ivy Gourd – Did You Know?


Consuming one or two tender ivy gourds (Coccinia grandis / Gentleman’s toes) can relieve you of heartburn and of acidity instantly. They work better than antacids. Easy to grow from cuttings, these vines can spread on trellises or shrubs, and produce bumper crops round the year.


You can grow them fully organic on a little farmyard manure, lime, and lots of water. They thrive in warm weather, but can also be grown in greenhouses in cooler climes. They make a wonderful stir-fry, by themselves, or in combination with potatoes and cashew nuts.
