Coocooli in dominica. I come from countryside that how I know them calling it. It has red kittle seeds. We ate them.
My grandma called it Bhand Caraille because it was a smaller version of the Bitter Gourd.The Caraille or karela or bitter melon is used in pickles, peppersauce and as a vegetable that is fried or curried or stuffed.The karela is a great medication for diabetes. We boil the leaves and wash our bodies with the water, keeps our skin smooth and clean. The bhand Caraille is a beautiful ornamental plant
Sopropo in Suriname. In SVG I found in wild, orange small fruit, hanging far apart on vines. Could never get enough to cook for me in one meal. In my yard I planted the red seeds. The leaves crawl on the ground very bushy. They yield a few dark green 3-4 by 2-inch bitter gourds at a time every few days. They ripen fast between the leaves once full. I pick them b4 they turn yellow or orange. Uhhmm.
Cerossi in Belize
In SVG it's called Carailla. My dad used it for high blood pressure.
