Cheese plant
- Product number: 831770.1
- Origin: Vietnam, Southeast Asia
- Latin: Paederia lanuginosa
Great plant with a cheesy taste! The French immediately recognize a camembert, especially in the young leaves that grow in spring and early summer... The taste changes with the maturity of the leaves. It is a plant that has long been used mainly in Asia for its medicinal properties (digestive system).
The plant has a strong fragrance, beautiful as a houseplant and a nice outdoor plant in summer.
Tie the plant to a stick or along a trellis, as it is a climber.
We expect a lot from this highly sought-after plant from Vietnam, where it is called La Mo Long. In summer, the leaves will show a lot of red coloration under the influence of sunlight.
Vegans are very happy with this "cheese substitute," it is a welcome flavor enhancer in salads...
