Rare, Nutrient-Packed Vine with Crisp, Hollow Fruits! Available for a Limited Time

Cyclanthera pedata, commonly known as Caigua, Achocha, or Stuffing Cucumber, is a fast-growing annual vine native to the Andes Mountains of South America. Prized for its hollow, crunchy fruits that resemble small spiny cucumbers, Caigua has been cultivated for centuries as a nutritious and versatile vegetable. Its tender young fruits can be eaten raw in salads, sautéed, stuffed, or pickled—earning it the nickname "Stuffing Cucumber." This vigorous climber also produces delicate, lobed leaves and small, pale flowers that attract pollinators to your garden.

At Sow Exotic, our Caigua plants come in a biodegradable 1-gallon coconut coir pot, making them ready to plant directly in your garden or large container with zero waste. Once planted, expect rapid growth as the vine quickly covers trellises, fences, or arbors, rewarding you with an abundant harvest throughout the warm season.
