I would have to go with turnips. Incredibly versatile and nutritious root, plus delicious greens to fry up

In Vietnam, we call it khổ qua, maybe that will help identify if it's what we think it is with a quick search :)

We also use it to make a tea, but I'm not sure if it's actually good or just for supposed magical properties.

Very interesting. It seems the bitter melon that grows wild here in the south east USA is an invasive variety. It seems that it is also technically edible but generally considered a bit shit compared to the larger fruit you all get.

At least the birds seem to like it. I'll have to try the real thing some day.
