Telakucha is known for its edible fruits, leaves, and shoots, which are commonly used in cooking and traditional medicine.
The plant has long, slender vines with heart-shaped leaves and tendrils for climbing. It produces small, greenish-white flowers that eventually develop into elongated, cylindrical fruits. These fruits, when young and tender, are consumed as vegetables and have a slightly bitter taste. The shoots and leaves of Telakucha are also harvested and cooked as a leafy green.
