Sour Edible Green, Purple Stem? Identification?

9 years ago

Sour vegetable. Looking for the name. Any ideas? Botanical Name? Common Name?
Grows in shade.

Any help for any insight would be appreciated.

Looks like Gongura in India. Also known as Ambadicha Bhaji, Phundi Palle

If you see it during April in Pennsylvania, it cannot be Gongura. Pl check before using. Gongura needs lots of heat and humidity and it is definitely only summer crop.

If you see this green in your Pennsylvania open garden, it cannot be Gongura. It is definitely only a summer veggie.

Indumodali is right, it is not gongura. Try posting on 'name this plant' forum on this site, you may get right answer.
