Cyclanthera pedata (Slipper gourd, Achocha) 15 Leaves of Cyclanthera pedata. Oslo Botanical Garden. Photo by Joseph Simcox. Short description and history of use Another high elevation “poor man’s crop” from the Andean region, Cyclanthera pedata is an insufficiently known member of the Cucurbitaceae family. The slipper gourd, by its common name, produces small fruits, ranging between 6-15 cm in length, similar in taste to a cucumber. However, the slipper gourd is not as hard and crunchy as a cucumber, but rather soft in texture. In the earlier stages of maturity the fruits can be eaten raw or cooked. When fully developed, they taste better cooked. The method of preparation resembles that of a stuffed pepper: they are filled with meat and vegetables, rice or cheese and then baked in the oven.
