Fruits are small, delicious, 5-10g, very abundant harvest. Eaten fresh, pickled, added to salads, taste reminiscent of cucumbers. Plants grow quickly, up to 3-5m height, one plan covering the area of 2–3m, therefore it has to be planted at the wall or at supports. Not only fruits but also the entire plant is ornamental, resembling lianas. Should be planted in seedlings after frost.

Therefore, depending on the planting options, sow the seeds in time to prevent the seedlings from overgrowing.
