For berries that look so black, it is a surprise to see juice appearing so different, so beautiful. Fashion designers could have used the same colour tone for their top models. On beauty, nature has a lot to offer.

Ya, their seeds are simply lovely. When i was young, I used to collect their seeds and squeeze them to get their lovely purple color.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting plant. I thought Malabar spinach is another specie of the vegetable spinach. Very interesting indeed.
ReplyDeleteI marvel at your gardening planning and development.
Never seen the seeds before! The colour is indeed beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCan you eat those berries, or are they purely ornamental? I bet you could make a nice dye from them too.
ReplyDeleteCan we drink the juice just like roselles Bangchik? Such lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I bet I could dye some knitting yarn with that juice!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh it almost glows! I love the lower angle photo - thank you for sharing another wonderful new plant with me x
ReplyDeleteThat is the most amazing color...I'm curious too, can the berries be eaten?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple colour! I thought it's black berry!
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful colors together. it is hard to believe they are the same thing really.
ReplyDeleteFood so delicious!
ReplyDeletechildhood games of our generation indeed. Mothers would probably raise their voices, "see, you dress all stained!"

First time I grow malabar spinach. Like you, I never though it would climb up and produce berries.

It's the shoots (leaves and stems) that we harvest for fried menu. I have not tried eating berries yet.

ReplyDeleteIf we can make the stain permanent.., surely knitting yarn will come out with very exotic colour.

Yes, you can eat the berries but it's very hard to clean your teeth!!
ReplyDeleteBangchik and Kakdah,
ReplyDeleteMy grandma used to plant this many years ago and it made a lovely soup. The plant died out a long time ago. I'm wondering if I could get seeds from you. If yes, would really appreciate it. I stumbled onto your blog this week (maybe last week) and posted about growing grapes. I'm just getting interested in container gardening as the front of the house is cemented over.
