Perennial dioecious climbing plant with slightly thorny orange fruit. Blood-red edible aril inside the fruit has the highest ever-known concentration of beta-caroten of all the fruit or vegetable. It is profusely grown in India and south-east of Asia where it serves as a basis of many dishes. In Vietnam it is preferred as rice colouring because it gives rice orange-red colour. The seeds offered here come from a wild tribe in the east of Sabah on the island of Borneo.
