Banana heart cooked… 
I prepared like i saw in the videos… first i prepared a bowl with water, salt and vinegar and put there everything i will use. I took the central part of flowers out and use the rest. Took out all red leaves out untill i get to all White center. Then i start to cut it very thin and allways put it on water.
Then you amasse everything inside the water and let it There untill you cook. I use a fried pan with olive oil, onions and garlic. Let it go hot. Took all water very well and put everything on fried pan. Tamp it untill it cooked very well. You can put the spices or anything as you like.
You can use that as you want… any dish from soup, rice, etc.
The look is just the photo… i did it to save the banana heart. Now i can use it in any dish… but i think if you want you can use it directly on the dish you want… you just have to prepare it as i told with all the parts you will use imediately on the water with salt and vinager… then take out all water very well and cook…

Hi. Thank you for your kind words! I love Li jujube because it’s huge round and juicy. This year my Lang is very good too… the other varieties i didn’t try yet.

I didn’t know they would fruit. Does it taste good? My vine grows everywhere with many flowers but never had a fruit.

The flavor is amazing. No acid like the purple ones and they are sweet, aromatic and juicy. I planted seedlings from diferent places… maby that’s why yours don’t fruit.
Really good!

You need two vines for fruit, or at least another Passiflora species that’s compatible (I think most of them are not very compatible with incarnata). Unfortunately, incarnata seems to do poorly here in Seattle, they don’t like our cool nights so they grow very very slowly, and the slugs and snails seem to love the way their leaves taste.

Here in SoCal they are invasive vines. Once it gets through the pot holes they will start popping up from everywhere, so you need to contain them in the pots and cut off any roots outside of the pots (if on dirt/soil). Someone mentioned to kill the vine growing in areas you don’t want them to grow, you can use roundup on it and will get rid of those.
