After some questions came in from ECHO's network, our agriculture technical and seed bank staff have updated our Plant Information Sheet about katuk (Sauropus androgynus). Katuk is a perennial green that grows well in lowland, warm regions of the subtropics and tropics. Its leaves are high in protein and taste similar to garden peas. It prefers partial shade and develops into a bushy shrub when the tips are harvested frequently.
