Akebi

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Akebi is a type of fruit native to Japan and China. It is also known as the "chocolate vine" because of its dark purple, chocolate-colored skin. The fruit is round or oblong in shape and has a soft, juicy pulp with a sweet, slightly tangy flavor. Akebi is typically eaten fresh or used to make jams, jellies, and other preserves. It is also used in traditional Japanese medicine for its supposed health benefits.
