Bo khai (Erythropalum scandens, Olacaceae)

No longer available from its shrinking forest habitat, this liana has been taken into cultivation by farmers in mountainous North Vietnam. The distinctive taste and texture of this leaf vegetable also appeals to urban gourmets. CFF has assisted farmers with developing propagation methods of bo khai and building equitable value chains.
