It is grown for food or sponges. The young fruit are cooked or used in salad. The buds, shoots and young leaves are also edible. The immature flesh is especially good stir-fried with chicken, bamboo shoots or cashews. Mature fruit is dried for its fiber.Growing tips: 1) Do not transplant too early, as young plants could be stunned when overnight temperature below 40F. Here in Chicago Zone 5B, better growth is observed when transplanted after Memorial Day 2) Let the vines climb to chain link fence, cattle panel, arbor, trellis...etc. Best fruit yielding when maximum sun exposure is provided. Allow at least 50-100 sqft aerial space per vine. 3) Once a female flower is found, you can pinch off the rest of the "branch", to achieve best fruit size, as well as provide "bushy" growth to the main vine.
