{"product_id":"243200","title":"False cucumber 'Alba'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe five-lobed leaves already give a playful appearance to this increasingly popular climbing plant. The clusters of hanging, pure white flowers decorate your wall or fence in the summer. The plant originates from East Asia and prefers a partially shaded spot. Eventually, very unique, grey-blue, elongated fruits (5-10 cm long and 4 cm wide) will develop, containing the seeds and surrounded by a white, almost liquid pulp. The entire contents are edible with a texture like pomegranate. With a little lemon juice, it's a delicacy! The peel is bitter, but after baking, it too becomes a delight. The young shoots of the Akebia are delicious in salads, and older leaves can be used to make a healthy tea. Many applications are known in Chinese medicine, including against infections. Finally, the 1-year-old shoots are suitable after winter as weaving material for baskets. For good fruit set, it is wise to use a small brush to bring the pollen from the male flowers (usually at the top of the plant) into contact with the pistils of the female flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003eLatin: Akebia quinata\u003cbr\u003eDutch: Schijnaugurk\u003cbr\u003eEnglish: Chocolate Vine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"± 40 seeds (1 g)","offer_id":44175760687157,"sku":"243200","price":2.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/243200.jpg?v=1750776807","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/243200","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
