Anredera cordifolia or Binahong

I discovered a new plant I hadn’t seen before—Anredera cordifolia, also known as Binahong. Thanks to Google Lens, I was able to identify it and learn more about its unique properties.

This is a vine plant. I had never consumed it before, but I wanted to try. I didn’t have the plant myself, but I found it growing along someone’s house fence—just there, looking fresh and inviting.

I found out that Binahong, or Anredera cordifolia, is more than just a vine plant—it’s packed with nutrients. I was surprised to learn it contains saponins, flavonoids, and alkaloids, all of which have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help protect the body and boost overall health.

As I explored more, I discovered that Binahong is also rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system and promotes skin healing. It contains iron to help prevent anemia and calcium to keep bones strong. Even the protein in the leaves can help with tissue repair and stamina.

I haven't tried consuming it yet, but knowing all these benefits really makes me want to. Many people use it for traditional healing, especially for wounds, digestion, and energy. I’m definitely curious to see how it works in practice and maybe try a simple herbal preparation myself.

In conclusion, I realized that Binahong offers so much more than I expected. Its rich nutritional content and traditional uses truly caught my attention. I’m now eager to explore how it might support my well-being in a natural way.
