Air Potato! Have You Heard The Name!

Don't be surprised if you see a hanging potato! Yes, we all know potato grows beneath the soil but today I would try to make you familiar with the Air Potato.

This is rare now, you might only find them in the village jungle. You could find it with several names like Cgupri, Pesta, Maitta, Chapra, Gauccha/Gecho Alu commonly called in different districts of Bangladesh.

This potato could grow with very little care and generally, the plant climbs to the top of a tree and it has a tendency to take over the native tree. Some of these kinds might not be edible and could be poisonous which grows in wild Florida but I have eaten them many times from my village and these are perfectly okay to eat.

The plant and fruit both grow fast. You could cook them, burn them to eat them, there are several ways to eat them.

Thank you for your time!
