(Jue-ming-zi) The seeds are used as a laxative for chronic constipation in China. But in West Africa and South Asia the tender young leaves and shoots are eaten, often daily, as a cooked or steamed vegetable. The leaves are highly nutritious, unusually rich in zinc and beta-carotene. In Korea, a tea made boiling the roasted seeds is known as "coffee-tea" because of its flavour and aroma. Koreans drink it to improve vision, as it relieves eye fatigue, prevents night blindness, and helps to strengthen the optic nerve. Ht. 30-90cm/1-3ft.
