Senduduk

Young senduduk leaves (shoots) are boiled with the florets of a male papaya tree to remove the bitterness of the papaya florets. Then the boiled florets (less bitter or bitter-free after boiling) can be eaten as ulam or made into a vegetable dish.

Senduduk flower and berries. The berries are a good source of vitamin C for rural kids where the plant grows wild in semi-sandy soils.
