'''Ladzoumi''' is a type of climbing vine native to [[Kovalar]] with long, pointed green leaves. They bloom with short clumps of yellow-green flowers that cluster beneath growth nodes alone the vine, which wilt and drop once its fruits begin to develop. Each fruit grows from a tendril that sprouts from one of these pollinated growth nodes; initially just a textured lump, each fruit elongates and curls as it grows until it's a fully ripened and conically shaped spring with rubbery red skin bubbled with white spots. The flesh is incredibly tart when fresh and filled with a thin nectar which dries the mouth, tightening the facial muscles and resulting in a silly-looking pucker. The flavor mellows when cooked, but only slightly. | '''Ladzoumi''' is a type of climbing vine native to [[Kovalar]] with long, pointed green leaves.
