    Description: Coccinia fruits are small, typically elongated, and range in colour from green to red when ripe. They resemble miniature cucumbers or gherkins in appearance and have a slightly crunchy texture with a mild, slightly bitter taste. The plant itself is a vigorous climber, often grown for its edible fruits and ornamental foliage.

    Nutritional Benefits:

    1. Vitamins and Minerals: Coccinia fruits are rich in essential vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B-complex (including folate). These vitamins play key roles in immune function, vision health, and overall metabolism.

    2. Dietary Fibre: They are a good source of dietary fibre, which promotes digestive health, aids in maintaining a healthy weight, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

    3. Antioxidants: Coccinia contains antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

    4. Low Calorie: Coccinia fruits are low in calories and carbohydrates, making them a suitable addition to various diets, including weight management plans.

    Culinary Uses: Coccinia is used in various culinary preparations across Asia, particularly in Indian, Thai, and Filipino cuisines. The fruits can be stir-fried, added to curries, pickled, or used in salads. They pair well with spices and herbs and are valued for their crunchy texture and ability to absorb flavours during cooking.
