Have you eaten them? Because I have.... They are a natural laxative, so be careful! They are also called creeping cucumber.

Melothria pendula is creeping cucumber and it turns black when its completely ripe and is considered poisonous in different parts of the US..... Mexican sour gherkins are Melothria scabra.....They are different and have no laxative effects nor are they dangerous :) I have a different species for sale on my auction Cucumis anguria which is an Indian mini gherkin....... All different species SweetP7..... Just wanted to give some accurate information so everyone knows what they are bidding on :)
