    U - Udupi Mattu Gulla Eggplant.

    The Mattu Gulla is large, round brinjal. Gulla means round in Tulu, the local language. It has light green stripes, thin skin and a good amount of pulp with a few seeds. The stalk has a few thorns, and this is an aspect that makes it distinct from other Gullas. (29 Aug 2020 Google)

    It looks like three of us were posting at the same time and used the letter "U". We were all different so at least we had variety.

    D - Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that’s low in calories and high in fiber and antioxidants. Some people say it tastes like a cross between a pear and a kiwi. You can slice and eat the fruit as-is, try it with yogurt, or add it to a smoothie or salad.

    K - Kyona - Kyona, Shui Cai, Japanese mustard, Potherb mustard, California peppergrass, and Spider mustard, is a popular spicy green used fresh in salads or cooked in savory dishes. It’s both cold and heat tolerant and will withstand moderate summer weather without bolting. Serrated green leaves with white stems can quickly grow up to 18″ in length and, depending on the variety, are sweeter and milder when harvested young (6″ or shorter in length). The taste is milder than most mustards, with a slightly spicy and peppery flavor. Plants are adaptable to a variety of conditions and will produce a high yield of edible leaves.

    That sounds good, Linda. I might try to find some and see if it will grow in a pot.

    L - Lemon Grass. Great for making tea and is also added to many Thai and other South East Asian dishes. It does grow in a big clump like a grass tuft and can get to be many feet wide and high. People use it as an ornamental bush in their gardens too.
