Dennst's Dioscorea hispida, a group of tubers that have a purple color, grows in the muddy ground, and its stems are spiny soft. The leaves are wide, like cassava leaves, but more widely.

The fruit of this gadung is rarely cultivated deliberately by the people of my village, because it is still wild plant. But if you want to make a drug, people can go to the forest to take it directly.


You can see the color in the picture above, I've split it, but the color slightly faded because the cleavage was already hit by sunlight. Because I split it a few days ago. Before her skin closed again.

And below, I just peeled it, you can see the original color of this gadung fruit. In our village called "bohgadong".

The fruit is gummy, and can be used for medicine. Because it is rich in vitamins and ingredients in it to cure some types of diseases. Diligently eat this fruit, because the properties are many.
