Veggie ID - Arbuzeh

    4 responses

Farouk starts with ...
Hi All, anyone know what type of veggie this is ?

I think it might be some type of Asian Veggie, or maybe this plant is Arbuzeh (in arabic) please ID.

It's super healthy, the stem is as think as a sunflower plant or thicker & the flower is just slightly higher than the colourbond fence.

Thank you

Hi Farouk,

I'm not certain but them flower tips/seed buds on the top and shape of leaves make it look like some sort of Amaranth. There are many types of Amaranths around the world. Some are even considered weeds here in vegetable gardens. However, most or all species are edible so it could be. Also, Asians do have an amaranth species that they eat but it is a lot smaller than the one you are describing - certainly never reaching fence height. Hopefully that narrows down your search somewhat. Here's a pic of the Amaranth Asians eat - looks very similar.

Isn't Arbuzeh usually a melon of sorts?

Hi Atif,

No definitely a green leaf veggie, unless there's a melon which also has a similar/same name, although Arbuzeh usually looks & is the same like the photo coolbreeze posted.

As I am referring to Arabic, where I know there is a common melon called the same in Africa.
