The World Vegetable Center, Taiwan regards traditional vegetables as one of the important means of ‘climate-resilient pathways’. Momordica sahyadrica is a lesser-known traditional vegetable having neutraceutical virtues. It grows well under marginal input and partial shade environment, thereby, it aptly highlights one of its niche attributes, ‘climate resilience’. It is endemic to the typical habitat of the Western Ghats (Sahyadri mountain range) and is a distinguished species of the well-known vegetable genus Momordica. Popularizing this species, conservation through cultivation, and further focused research and development using various techniques will facilitate the recovery of promising genotypes and mainstreaming of this Sahyadri gourdKeywords
