Vasconcellea stipulata, known also as toronche or jigacho, is a fruit-bearing species in the Vasconcellea genus, Caricaceae family. It is native to Ecuador and Peru.[1]
Babaco is a natural hybrid of V. stipulata and V. pubescens, although it has been suggested that other species may be involved.[2]
Uses
It is the least commercially exploited species among those of economic importance in Ecuador. Its use is limited to domestic and small-scale cultivation, and its food uses are mainly confections and preserves.[3]
