Tender perennial flowering vine. Whole plant is medicinal and edible. Leaves can be harvested and cooked as leafy vegetable or as I remembered to chop the leaves and mix with eggs to make omelet. It is very common used to give a boost for kids or young adults to grow taller. Also could dry the harvested leaves then blend the dried leaves into powder for storage, when use the powder can mix with rice flour to make dumpling kind of food. It is a fast growing vine so in some warm countries not eating them will be considered as invasive weed. The whole plant has an strong scent/odour some people really dislike it hence the common name.
