The Bush Grape, locally known as Capeba, is an extraordinary climbing vine native to the lush forests of South America. Belonging to the Menispermaceae family, this liana is easily identified by its unique adventitious roots that descend like ropes from its nodes, often touching the ground and rooting wherever they land. These natural characteristics make it a striking plant for gardens while also serving as a source of food and traditional medicine.
Bush Grape fruits are small, round, and pleasantly sweet with a gelatinous, sticky pulp that can be savored fresh. Traditionally, the fruits are also used in preparing refreshing liqueurs and beverages, giving them a unique place in regional cuisines. Being naturally sweet, the fruits provide quick energy and hydration, making them a light and healthy choice for snacking.
Capeba has been revered for centuries in folk medicine across South America. The plant is often harvested from the wild for its therapeutic potential. Its parts, especially roots and fruits, are believed to aid digestion, improve vitality, and support general wellness. Local communities have long considered it a healing plant, blending both cultural and medicinal significance into its use.
