It’s in the Cnidoscolus genus and has two relatives in the southern United States, the Cnidoscolus stimulosus and the Cnidoscolus texanus. In researching and writing about those I learned about the Chaya. The problem with the two American plants is the C. Are the seeds of the C. Are the roots of the C. There is also the possibility that the leaves of the C. I know of four people who ate some raw (blended it) and did not get ill. Another person used to fry the leaves and eat them. This might suggest the same for the C. Its leaves are edible cooked. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

The leaves are very high in protein, calcium, iron, carotene, and vitamins A, B and C. In fact, Chaya can have 1. C as the orange. Whether there is one species of Chaya with several scientific names or several different species of Chaya is a bit of a debate. Chaya in blossom. A study as late as 1. Cnidoscolus chayamansa and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius. You will also see Cnidoscolus aconitifolius ssp. Botanists tend to defend their taxonomic turf while confusing the issue significantly. As for varieties, some have stinging hairs like their American cousins, some don’t. So not only can you have multiple confusing names you can have edible Chaya with stinging hairs and without, and different shaped leaves. Often this is whether the variety is in the wild (Chaya brava) or under cultivation (Chaya mansa.) Regardless, all should be boiled or fried though there are some reports that some of the varieties can be eaten raw. I would be careful about that since cooking drives off hydrogen cyanide. You need to cook them ten to 2. Blending will do the same if the blended leaves are allowed to sit for several hours. The amount of hydrogen cyanide differs from variety to variety and may account for reports of some variety leaves being eaten raw. Still, it is better to err on the safe side. While edibility is not an issue, finding Chaya may be. It’s native to Central America and endemic to the Yucatan Peninsula. The USDA maps show it naturalized only in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. It does grow in Florida and South Texas but is ill- suited to freezes though it does grow back from the root. One local specimen in downtown Orlando and has been there at least 3. There are also two plants in Mead Garden in Orlando, the one above in Longwood Fl., and I have seen it in the wild north of the fishing pier at Ft. Desoto in St. Petersburg. As for the scientific names, again opinions differ. ![]() Since the name is from Greek first a little lesson in Greek. Greek verbs have a main part, the stem, and an ending. The verb stem “to sting” is “tsou.” To that is added endings telling you who or what is stinging. Tsouzo (TSOU- zoh) means I sting, tsouzee, means he, she, it stings. The word for nettles is tsouknitha (tsouk- NEE- tha) combining tsou with knitha, which might mean “it stings a little.”So the genus name Cnidoscolus is from two Greek sources pulverized through Latin. Cnido is cleaved from tsouknitha (k- NEE- tha) The Romans got rid of Greek “K” sounds and used C in front of the N to indicate it was from Greek and the C silent in Latin. Scolus is from the Greek word “skolop” meaning “a thorn” but with a Latin ending. How that all is pronounced is a bit of preference. I have also heard sss- need- doe- SKOHL- us which offends both languages. There is no beginning SN sound in native Greek or Latin. Chayamansa (chay- uh- MANZ- uh) a combination of the Mayan word for the plant, “chaay” and the Latin mansa meaning house, dwelling or farm, read Chaya a domesticated plant. Aconitifolius (a- kon- eye- tih- FOH- lee- us) means Aconitum- like leaves. Chaya is said CHA- yah. Green Deane’s “Itemized” Plant. IDENTIFICATION: Shrub to a small tree, three to 1. Leaves alternate, stalks two inches to a foot long, three to five lobes, two smaller lobes at base, leaf edges deeply, sharply lobed and toothed, veins palmate. Flowers white, in branched clusters, spring through fall. Fruit three- part capsule with stinging hairs. Rarely seeds. TIME OF YEAR: Leaves and shoots year round. The best leaves are small to half mature size. Up to 5. 0% of the leaves can be harvested at one time. ENVIRONMENT: Will tolerate a wide range of environments from wet to arid, shady to sunny. METHOD OF PREPARATION: Chopped leaves, stem tips and shoots boiled or fried. Cooking for 2. 0 minutes destroys hydrogen cyanide in the tissue. Cooking broth is drinkable. Large leaves can be used to wrap food for cooking. The entire plant can be dried, ground, and used as fodder for animals or meal for fish. Do not cook Chaya in aluminum containers. It can cause a toxic reaction. When collecting stinging varieties wear gloves. Avoid breathing in the vapors when cooking. Stir frying is not enough to render the Chaya edible. Cook it first then add to stir fries. If you would like to donate to Eat The Weeds please click here. Tagged as. Aluminium. Chaya brava. Chaya mansa. Cnidoscolus aconitifolius.
